In Lahore, Pakistan, Smog Has Become a ‘Fifth Season’

For nearly two weeks, Lahore, Pakistan’s second-largest city, has been like one huge airport smokers’ lounge. But Abid Omar’s jaw still dropped Wednesday when he checked the air-quality monitor he had installed to track the city’s appalling pollution.

"In Lahore, Pakistan, Smog Has Become a ‘Fifth Season’" is from the November 10, 2017 World section of The New York Times. It was written by Mehreen Zahra Malik and narrated by Archie Montgomery.
