Such rings usually occur when the sky is clear yet cold enough for the ice crystals to form. A polluted air would destroy the reflection of the light, hence the sun halo wouldn't be able to form.

This is not due to pollution at all. It is a natural phenomenon found commonly in most parts of the world. It's caused by ice crystals in cirrus clouds that form high up into the troposphere. Light is reflected and refracted by the ice crystals and may split up into colors because of dispersion. The crystals behave like prisms and mirrors, refracting and reflecting sunlight between their faces, sending shafts of light in particular directions.
