Pakistan’s cities, particularly Lahore and Karachi, have been facing worsening smog, especially during the winter months. This hazardous mix of pollutants from industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, and crop burning leads to serious health risks, including respiratory issues and heart conditions. Weather patterns often trap these pollutants, making it difficult to breathe and reducing visibility.
To combat smog, strict environmental regulations, cleaner energy solutions, and public awareness are essential. The government must enforce emission controls and improve waste management, while individuals can help by wearing masks, limiting outdoor activities, and planting trees. A united effort can pave the way for a cleaner, healthier Pakistan.
