Air pollution remains a pressing global issue, and Pakistan’s consistently high ranking on the IQAir index is raising serious concerns. The country’s deteriorating air quality poses significant health risks, including respiratory diseases and reduced life expectancy, affecting millions of residents.
Major cities, including Lahore and Karachi, frequently report hazardous air quality levels, primarily due to industrial emissions, vehicular pollution, and crop burning. Experts emphasize the urgent need for stricter environmental policies, sustainable practices, and public awareness to combat the crisis.
With Pakistan among the most polluted nations, global organizations and environmentalists are calling for immediate action to address the alarming situation and safeguard public health.
