Current Air condition in Karachi and Lahore (group 6)
(wadiah, sumeeze, tayyaba, zara, Zainab, tasbeeha) VIII-C
The air of Karachi is highly polluted due to automobiles' smoke emitted by rickshaws, cars, bikes, buses, other vehicles, burning of garbage, oven fires and industrial emissions. The marine pollution in Karachi has also badly affected fish and prawn production. 
Air pollution in Lahore is caused by a combination of vehicle and industrial emissions, smoke from brick kilns, the burning of crop residue and general waste, and dust from construction sites.
- Pakistan's cultural capital Lahore has once again topped the list of world's most polluted cities. Pakistan’s largest city Karachi is under the grip of multifarious pollutions due to lack of government’s environment-friendly policies. The air, marine and noise pollutions are rising with each passing day as there is no proper check and balance system.
Karachi and Lahore grip of pollution due to lack of environment-friendly policies"
The climate influences temperatures, cloudiness, humidity, the frequency and intensity of precipitation, and wind patterns, each of which can influence air quality.
This serious lack of data also stalls any discussion on improving air quality in Pakistan, Omar says in the documentary. To address this, Omar has started Pakistan Air Quality Initiative, which provides crowd-sourced, community-driven air quality data to increase social awareness. One is forced to wonder: is this enough? Shouldn’t the government and the country’s pollution control authorities be doing something about this?

quality .visibility was so bad that cars crashed in pileups on highways
and trains had to be cancelled and delayed. The air borne particles and
toxic chemicals that make up the smug had choked the 19 million
residents of the metropolitan area. Where merely breathing the air was,
at its worst like smoking 50 cigarettes in a day. Hospital recorded a 20
percent surge in patient with pollution related illness and doctors have
declared a public health emergency. The city was called as “GAS
CHAMBER”
Smog is like a hidden death. In frigid winter nights people tend to burn
more. The pollution in Warsaw in January 9 2017 was 200
microorganisms per cubic meter. That’s 4 times much than normal.
Smog is no longer a niche problem for echo logiest who are obsessed

Attendance in the government and private offices and educational institutions also remained thin due prevailing smog and fog. General public also preferred staying indoor without having electricity and gas.
