Pakistan ranked number 1 for air pollution @LahoreSmog
🚨 Pakistan has officially been ranked the most polluted country on Earth. With Faisalabad (98.8 µg/m³), Rahim Yar Khan (92.6 µg/m³), and Lahore (88.9 µg/m³) leading the crisis, 4 of the world's top 10 most polluted cities are right here. But how do we fix it? Read our latest article on why we must move from panic to data-driven policy.

What’s going into your lungs, #Lahore? An installation has been set up in a University in the city (i.e. lots of green space, away from traffic, construction, etc). One side has a working fan inside to depict physical breathing inside our bodies. #SaansLenayDo 1st image (Nov 6th) 2nd image (Nov 10th)

Can Punjab really afford the "temporary" but extremely expensive anti-smog guns to control #AirPollution? My oped in today's Dawn: dawn.com/news/1951728/mistin… @Marriyum_A @dawarhbutt @Abidsuleri @sherryrehman @aminattock @ClimateChangePK @GovtofPunjabPK

The science says no. Lahore's new 'Anti-Smog Guns' look like action, but are they a solution or just expensive 'smog theatre'? @abido new @dawn_com article, we examine the evidence. (Spoiler: it's not good).

Civil society will not let them “develop” the Margallah Hills National Park and adversely affect the fragile ecology. We must fight to preserve park for future generations to enjoy nature & to save the wildlife… we want ecosystem restoration & not ecosystem destruction!

Totally wrong information @rinasaeed was volunteering for the role. She has done some amazing work in her tenure and is a victim of monal and CDA politics
اسلام آباد میں مونال اور دیگر ہوٹلز ختم کرکے ہزاروں لوگوں کو بےروزگار کرنے والی اسلام آباد وائلڈ لائف بورڈ کی چیئرپرسن رینا سعید خود بےروزگار ہونے پر احتجاج کررہی ہیں،،، قدرت کا انتقام،،،قاضی فائز عیسی کی اہلیہ اور اس نے مل کر مونال ختم کیا تھا،،، لوگوں کی بددعاوں نے انتہائی بااثر اور طاقتور خاتون کو بھی رسوا کردیا- @rinasaeed

This week, the federal government dissolved the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB) and reconstituted it, replacing independent experts with bureaucrats. The IWMB is an autonomous body mandated to protect and conserve the Margalla Hills National Park. Why is the government interested in taking over the IWMB? The Supreme Court's judgment regarding the Monal Restaurant may offer some clues: Thread.🧵

Dawn’s launched the first mass media campaign in Pakistan covering the climate crisis, environmental pollution and building resilience. Looking forward to how broadly the messaging can be taken and affect public discourse.

@dawarhbutt has been emphasising that city-wide shutdowns need to be imposed in @LahoreSmog, Gujranwala & Multan for upto 3-days. The cycle of emissions and pollutant buildup needs to be stopped to bring immediate relief.

This figure shared by Khawaja Asif is inaccurate. While Transport sector is the largest contributor towards emissions, it’s nowhere near 90% responsible Industry, crop burning and brick kilns still have a large proportion of share in emissions during smog season
صرف شور ھےکہ چاول کی فصل کی باقیات جلانے سے سموگ ھوتی ھے۔ اس چارٹ کا ملاحظہ فرمائیں۔ آپکو اصلی ملزم نظر آئیں گے جن ملزموں میں نام ھی نہیں آتا۔ فصلوں کی باقیات تو موھنجوداڑو کے وقت سے جلائ جارہی ھے۔ ھمارے سدا کے اصل حکمران یعنی انتظامیہ /نوکر شاہی /executive نے ھمیں ٹرک کی بتی کے پیچھے لگایا ھوا ھے کے بڑی وجہ فصلیں جلانا ھے اور سموگ بھارت سے امپورٹ ھو رہی ھے کیونکہ ھوا مشرق سے مغرب کی طرف چل رہی ھے جب مغرب سے مشرق کی طرف چلے گی تو پھر کیا ھوگا۔ آپ اس چارٹ میں دیکھیں گے سب بڑے ملزم انتظامیہ کی سر پرستی میں رشوت کے زور پہ سموگ پھیلا رہے ھیں اور ملبہ فصلوں کی باقیات پہ ڈال رہے ھیں۔

Smog in Pakistan - requires radical actions to limit fossil fuel burning machines (factories, cars etc), with countries like China demonstrating it is possible. There are many talented people in our county who could advise and implement successful strategies.

@PakAirQuality’s Air Quality Experts group on pollution sources.
ورلڈ بنک کی رپورٹ کے مطابق ٹراسنپورٹ کی وجہ سے آلودگی بیس فیصد کے قریب ہے. پاکستان اور انڈیا کے درمیان ہوا گھومتی ہے جس کی وجہ سے ایک ملک کی آلودگی دوسرے ملک کی فضا کو متاثر ہوتی ہے ڈاکٹر عمران خالد، ماہر ماحولیات @MunizaeJahangir @imran2u #Smog #Lahore #AQI

This letter from @PakAirQuality to the Prime Minster highlights quite well what are the actions needed to be taken immediately and over long term Only a full understanding of why smog appears, air pollution sources and measures required to counter will help improve air quality

#Pakistan, can you breathe? We call upon all of you to come together for a country wide Climate Strike this 25 Dec 2024 to raise your voice on #climatechange, #environmental issues, & #smog. As it becomes difficult to breathe both literally & figuratively, let's not lose hope.
