<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->New Delhi: Excessive coal burning at India's thermal power plants has caused smog in their territory, leading to massive economic losses, Pakistan’s Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) claimed.

The economic losses due to fog during <b>December and January amounted to over Rs 25 billion per annum</b>, claimed Pakistan’s Environmental Protection Agency.

An earlier study had reportedly revealed that fog was being caused by excessive fossil fuel combustion, mainly coal, in India's north-eastern region.

The study claimed that <b>high sulphate, varying from 49.8 to 141 mg/m3 and nitrate, varying from 3 to 74.5 mg/m3 concentrations </b>had been observed during the fog, which are emitted by combustion of fossil fuel.

An exceptionally<b> high trace element aerosol concentrations, including selenium, arsenic and antimony,</b> was also observed.
