Air Pollution Is Reducing Life Expectancy in Pakistan by 3.9 Years
Published
According to a new report, air pollution in Pakistan is causing a reduction of about 3.9 years in people's life expectancy. The report states that approximately 128,000 people are dying prematurely every year as a result of this pollution. The report was released from Lahore.
According to the report, fine particles in the air, vehicle smoke, industrial emissions, and the burning of crop residue all contribute to deteriorating air quality. Because of these particles, the risk of respiratory diseases, heart conditions, and other serious illnesses increases. People living in large cities in particular are more affected by this situation.
Experts say that long-term measures are needed to address this problem. These include strict standards on vehicle emissions, monitoring of industries, and promoting clean energy sources. According to the report, if immediate steps are not taken, its effects could grow even further.
