One environmental problem in South Asia is air pollution. Rapid industrialization and increasing vehicular emissions have led to high levels of air pollution in cities such as Delhi and Kathmandu, causing health issues and reducing the quality of life. Another problem is water pollution due to inadequate sewage systems and industrial waste discharge, leading to contaminated rivers and groundwater, which is a major health concern for the population. Deforestation and habitat destruction are also significant environmental problems in the region, leading to loss of biodiversity and contributing to climate change.
