Both Lahore and Karachi are battling severe air pollution, posing a significant threat to public health. Lahore, in particular, has been ranked as the most polluted city in the world, with an AQI of 354, which is considered «Hazardous» for residents.
With a population exceeding 11 million, the city has long struggled with poor air quality, largely due to vehicle emissions, industrial activities, and crop burning, Express Tribune reported.
As a result, many residents have faced aggravated respiratory problems, including asthma and other lung diseases, particularly during the colder months when the smog is most intense. In the past month, 18,86,586 people have fallen ill due to the smog, with 1,29,229 seeking hospital treatment for respiratory issues.
Meanwhile, 61,00,153 individuals have been diagnosed with cardiothoracic conditions. Similarly, more than 69,399 patients have been reported daily with respiratory problems, chest pain, or strokes caused by smog.
