I would like to draw the attention of concerned authorities through towards the issue of air pollution which is increasing day by day in Karachi .
Karachi is ranked as the fourth largest city polluted city in the world. As Karachi contribute a major part in the economy if Pakistan, that’s why it consist of large number of industries, which are one of the basic cause of air pollution.
Moreover, it is densely populated city ,due to which we can observe heavy traffic on the roads of Karachi.
The smoke emitted from the vehicles is polluting the air rapidly.
It’s a great concern of Karachiites because as the air we breathe consist of chemical and other dangerous particles, which harms not only our health but also plants and animals are being effected by it.
According to the research air pollution causes short and long term effects on humans health. Short term effects include bronchitis, nausea headache and dizziness.
While long term effect heart disease ,lung cancer and respiratory diseases. There is also lack of trees in Karachi, necessary for the reduction of air pollution.
People living here want to breath fresh air which is essential for them to live a healthy life .
Therefore, it’s a humble request for the concerned authorities to look into this matter seriously and take effective steps for the sake of people living in Karachi.
