Smog Affects 1.9 Million Patients in Punjab
Punjab government and EPA join forces to combat pollution, urging citizens to stay indoors and wear protective gear to reduce health risks.
The EPA’s recent directive impacts institutions across major cities and districts, including Lahore, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, and Multan, aiming to protect public health amid rising pollution levels. Here are key precautions recommended for citizens:
- Stay Indoors: Limit outdoor activities to avoid exposure to harmful pollutants.
- Use Protective Gear: Wear masks and suitable clothing when stepping outside.
- Avoid Strenuous Activities: Reduce physical exertion to lower health risks.
The Punjab Government and EPA are actively working to control pollution through initiatives like stricter industrial regulations, improved waste management, and promoting cleaner energy sources. Public awareness campaigns are also being organized to educate people on pollution’s health effects and encourage responsible behavior.
Together, by following these precautions and supporting government efforts, we can help reduce the smog crisis and work towards a healthier environment for future generations.
