SMOG- part 2

Assalamalaikum, Readers! May you have healthy clean environment with healthy and clean habits:

Before I begin with this important and much discussed but yet ignored topic, SMOG, I would like to share some of my observations, those bearing reservations too.

Few days back, I had a chance to visit PWD in search of some writing material for my research article on pollution Vs public behaviour towards environmental issues. On my way back I just started to roam around to see the new developed commercial plazas and residential buildings. There was a big vacant area at the back of PWD main commercial cum residential area. That area has now been taken over by Pakistan Town society authority, which is run by IB. This vicinity is now known as Pakistan Town phase 2 and it has become a congested residential vicinity/ township.

Dear readers, to my surprise rather shock, in the midst of this congested residential area there is a huge plaza constructed, obviously for commercial purpose comprising of few shops at ground floor and residential flats at first and upper floors. The point of shock was not this plaza but the purpose it is being utilised for. Yes, all the shops have been acquired by welders and Ironsmiths. It seems as if initially the place was used, apparently, for storage of iron material used in construction of the neighbouring buildings and when they saw it went unnoticed, they started welding and other regular iron jobs there. The worst I could watch was use of chemical sprays and paints being casually showered on different items. huge iron pieces and rods were layed in order to be grinded and painted etc.

Government is spending millions of public money on advertisement for saving environment and growing trees etc and in these societies such a criminal negligence regarding public health is at top. Continuity of such dangerous and health hazardous activities shows that the authorities are in the knowledge and they are playing with the health and safety of residents, intentionally. Why our institutions and authorities wait for the public cry and court orders, aren't they trained and paid for the purpose.

Anyway, readers! I would conclude my write up while linking the last article and reminding you of the suggestions for cautions and safety measures, I would add something more to your surprise. 

In my last Article I suggested that;

Following remedies should be followed:

3. Noticeable elevating chemical concentration, evolving temperature, and parchedness all assume a part in causing cerebral pains. To counter this, keep yourself very much hydrated. Endeavor to devour fluids for the duration of the day, as opposed to simply drinking them down at feast times.
4. People with asthma and sensitivities are more inclined to lung irritation, particularly amid smoggy days.

To maintain a strategic distance from this circumstance constrain your chance outside, yet in the event that going out is the main alternative at that point pick an individual defensive apparatus, for example, a face veil, and cover nose and mouth while venturing out.
