Breath of fresh air

The Valley has been waking up to a strange concoction of dust particles and pollutants.

The change from chilly to warm glorious spring mornings hasn’t gone unnoticed. It could even be mistaken for summer, considering the strength of the sun's rays. But of late, the Valley has been waking up to a strange concoction of dust particles and pollutants from numerous sources, primarily resulting from vehicular movement, brink kilns and burning household waste. Due to the abysmal waste management, people in the Valley have resorted to burning their domestic trash ; an easy and effective way to dispose of unwanted things as far as they are concerned—which has amplified the already bad situation of air pollution into something much worse.
