I read that whole news article. the only thing they have to blame is geography? That's so stupid. Air pollution does not come from the ground.

They don't. The sentence you're likely referring to is this:

Geography is partially to blame: the region is surrounded by mountains and pollution created by heavy traffic, industry, agricultural emissions and residential heating is trapped in the area.

That's as accurate as you can be.
