    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the chronic air pollution problem in Punjab, particularly in Lahore, Faisalabad, and Gujranwala. The smog caused by a combination of smoke and fog leads to various respiratory, eye, and skin diseases. The article suggests immediate solutions such as water sprinkling from a height of 50 meters to absorb pollutant particles and banning high sulfur petrol and diesel in pollution-sensitive areas. It also proposes long-term solutions like the use of electric vehicles, installation of air emission control devices in industries, and the establishment of bio-gas plants for safe disposal of rice stubble and production of bio-CNG. The article emphasizes the need for awareness campaigns, subsidies, and cooperation from various stakeholders to address the pollution issue. [Extracted from the article]
