मुख्य बातें

  • Lahore was named the world's most polluted city on October 29, recording an air quality index of 419, according to global monitoring data from IQAir.
  • Cairo followed with 274, while Karachi ranked eighth with 165.
  • A new national report on Pakistan's air pollution says toxic air causes about 128,000 premature deaths a year across the country and cuts average life expectancy by an estimated 3.9 years, with Lahore residents facing a loss of up to seven years.
  • لاہور 29 اکتوبر کو دنیا کا سب سے آلودہ شہر قرار پایا، جب عالمی نگرانی کے ادارے آئی کیو ایئر کے مطابق وہاں ایئر کوالٹی انڈیکس 419 ریکارڈ ہوا۔ قاہرہ 274 کے ساتھ دوسرے نمبر پر رہا، جبکہ کراچی 165 کے ساتھ آٹھویں نمبر پر تھا۔ پاکستان میں فضائی آلودگی سے متعلق ایک نئی قومی رپورٹ کے مطابق زہریلی ہوا ملک بھر میں ہر سال تقریباً ایک لاکھ 28 ہزار قبل از وقت اموات کا سبب بنتی ہے اور اوسط عمر متوقع میں تقریباً 3.9 سال کی کمی کرتی ہے، جبکہ لاہور کے رہائشیوں کو سات سال تک کا نقصان ہو سکتا ہے۔ رپورٹ میں بتایا گیا کہ لاہور میں باریک ذرات کی سالانہ اوسط آلودگی عالمی ادارہ صحت کی حد سے 22 گنا زیادہ ہے، اور اس میں آلودگی کو آدھا کرنے کے اقدامات بھی تجویز کیے گئے ہیں۔
  • लाहौर 29 अक्टूबर को दुनिया का सबसे प्रदूषित शहर घोषित हुआ, जब वैश्विक निगरानी संस्था आईक्यूएयर के अनुसार वहाँ वायु गुणवत्ता सूचकांक 419 दर्ज हुआ। काहिरा 274 के साथ दूसरे स्थान पर रहा, जबकि कराची 165 के साथ आठवें स्थान पर था। पाकिस्तान में वायु प्रदूषण पर एक नई राष्ट्रीय रिपोर्ट के अनुसार ज़हरीली हवा देश भर में हर साल लगभग एक लाख 28 हज़ार समय से पहले मौतों का कारण बनती है और औसत जीवन प्रत्याशा में लगभग 3.9 साल की कमी करती है, जबकि लाहौर के निवासियों को सात साल तक का नुकसान हो सकता है। रिपोर्ट में बताया गया कि लाहौर में बारीक कणों का वार्षिक औसत प्रदूषण विश्व स्वास्थ्य संगठन की सीमा से 22 गुना अधिक है, और इसमें प्रदूषण को आधा करने के उपाय भी सुझाए गए हैं।

Cairo followed with 274, while Karachi ranked eighth with 165. A new national report on Pakistan's air pollution says toxic air causes about 128,000 premature deaths a year across the country and cuts average life expectancy by an estimated 3.9 years, with Lahore residents facing a loss of up to seven years. The report found Lahore's average annual fine-particle pollution is more than 22 times the World Health Organization's guideline, and it sets out measures that could cut pollutants by up to half.
