Residents in Pakistan's Lahore said on Nov. 6 that the toxic smog covering the city was affecting their health.

Last week, Lahore was ranked as the world's second most polluted city according to a list compiled by Swiss group IQAir, which put the city’s air quality index (AQI) at 335. India's New Delhi took the top spot with an AQI of 640.

An AQI of 0-50 is considered good while a reading above 100 is termed unhealthy for those with pulmonary issues. Anything between 301-500 is considered "hazardous."

"It is a result of climate change," one resident said.

According to the Meteorological Department, Lahore’s AQI was close to 400 at various locations on Monday.
