As per the website, the source for the air quality measurement is Ministry of Population and Environment thus we can assume the source being authentic enough to draw the conclusion and immediately start advocating for the pollution free Nepal on the basis of facts and figures from same source.

Before advocating for the pollution free Nepal, we must identify the pollution sources. From naked eye perspective or general perception, following two can be listed among the numerous major polluting sources:
