👉 Tokyo Fumes refer to a persistent issue of air pollution in Tokyo, Japan, characterized by high levels of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) and other pollutants, particularly during the winter months. This phenomenon is largely attributed to a combination of factors including heavy traffic emissions from cars and trucks, industrial activities, construction dust, and the city's geographical location, which can trap pollutants in valleys and low-lying areas. The result is a significant health risk for residents and visitors, exacerbating respiratory and cardiovascular issues. Efforts to mitigate Tokyo Fumes include stricter emission standards for vehicles, increased use of public transportation, and initiatives to reduce industrial emissions and promote cleaner energy sources.
