Air plution has been a challenging issue in Pakistan



   Air pollution is caused by harmful smoke and fumes as also particulate matter from various sources such as exhausts of vehicular traffic, factories, burning of fossil fuels, burning of garbage and fam refuse, and construction sites. Air pollution is a big health hazard causing several diseases in humans. It affects the respiratory and cardiac systems of the human body and also affects the eyes and other organs of the body. Millions of people die each year due to air pollution. We need to take stringent measures urgently to curb air pollution and improve the quality of the air we breathe. Humanıs are today exposed to air pollution of all kinds and are affected by the harmful effects of the pollutants in the air they breathe. There are many causes of air pollution. One of the causes is vehicular traffic. Smoke generated by factories is also let out into the air. 

   The burning of fossil fuels like coal also leads to harmful smoke. The high levels of air pollution cause respiratory and cardiac problems and affect other parts of the human body. It also causes other diseases like cancer. Millions of people around the world die each year due to air pollution. All terrestrial life forms need air to breathe. We breathe in oxygen from the air and breathe out carbon dioxide. Air pollution is the phenomenon of harmful compounds in the form of gases and fine particles being let into the air thus polluting it. Humans suffer from various respiratory and cardiac conditions due to air pollution. Air pollution also causes various diseases, including cancer, affecting other organs of the body. Vehicular traffic is one of the causes of air pollution. 

   The combustion of the automobile fuel, whether it is diesel or petrol, that powers a vehicle, leads to the release of poisonous gases released through the exhaust of the vehicle. In factories too when production processes are carried out, smoke is generated that is then released into the air leading to pollution. Smoke is also caused due to the burning of fuels like coal. Construction activity also causes air
pollution.
