Agricultural burning in NorthwestIndia near the Indus River from 14, 17 and 20 October 2002 (left to right). The ModerateResolution Imaging Spectroradiometer detected numerous fires (red dots)burning just east of Indias border with Pakistan. The haze in the area isprobably not solely due to the fires, some of it is likely urban airpollution from several large cities in the region.
