The blanket of pollution, 3 kilometers, or nearly 2 miles, thick, hovers over most of the tropical Indian Ocean, South, Southeast and East Asia. It consists of sulfates, nitrates, organic substances, black carbon and fly ash, among several other pollutants.

The Asian brown cloud is a layer of air pollution that covers parts of the northern Indian Ocean, India, Pakistan, and parts of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and China. Viewed from satellite photos, the Cloud appears as a giant brown stain hanging in the air over much of Asia and the Indian Ocean.
