Due to recent calm weather, the Pakistan Meteorological Department has issued a warning that pollution levels in Pakistan’s major cities could rise alarmingly.

The PMD spokeswoman said that rising smog levels can affect the health of vulnerable groups because of the dangerous pollutants in the air and interfere with outdoor activities because of decreased visibility.

Smoke and fog combine to form smog, which occurs between November and mid-December.

According to the advice, traffic emissions, industrial pollution, and favorable weather patterns might all contribute to a rise in air pollution in the days ahead, endangering both the environment and human health.

Harmful pollutants will be building up in the atmosphere as a result of stable weather, especially in the fall and winter months.

Thick layers of haze can linger over cities like Lahore, Gujranwala, Sheikhupura, Kasur, Nankana Sahib, and Faisalabad due to the lack of wind movement, lower temperatures, and humidity.

According to the advice, the effects of rising smog levels include a surge in occurrences of asthma, respiratory ailments, and other health issues linked to pollution.
