The World Wide Fund for Nature-Pakistan (WWF-Pakistan) recently highlighted that Lahore continues to grab the second position with respect to atmospheric pollution among major cities of the world with Air Quality Index (AQI) score exceeding 500 at times. Meanwhile, Air Visual – an air quality monitoring application states that AQI score 300-500 or above is classified as hazardous, indicating a health emergency. In such circumstances, citizens should be encouraged to limit their outdoor activities and wear masks to protect themselves from the suspended particulate matter.
