👉 The "honduras fumes" refer to a persistent air pollution issue primarily affecting the capital city, Tegucigalpa, and surrounding areas in Honduras. This problem is largely attributed to industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, and open burning of waste, particularly agricultural residues and municipal garbage. The region's geography, with its mountainous terrain and limited dispersion, exacerbates the concentration of pollutants, leading to high levels of particulate matter and other harmful substances in the air. This chronic pollution has severe health impacts on residents, contributing to respiratory illnesses, cardiovascular diseases, and other health issues, while also affecting the quality of life and economic activities in the region.
