Smog Puts Public Health at Risk in Lahore as Respiratory Illnesses Surge
Smog has emerged as a serious threat to public health in Lahore, the provincial capital, triggering widespread concern among residents. A sharp increase in smog levels has led to a surge in cold, flu, cough, sore throat, and respiratory diseases, leaving citizens fearful and distressed.
Over the past several days, Lahore’s air quality has continued to deteriorate, with dense smog engulfing the city. The situation has particularly affected children, the elderly, and patients suffering from asthma and other respiratory conditions, who are facing severe health complications.
Both public and private hospitals have reported a noticeable rise in patients complaining of cough, flu, throat infections, eye irritation, and breathing difficulties. Medical facilities are witnessing an increased influx of smog-related cases on a daily basis.
Residents say the smog has paralyzed daily life in the city.
“Breathing has become difficult, and we are afraid to send our children to school,” said several citizens, urging the government to take immediate and effective measures to control smog.
Health experts warn that toxic particles present in smog can cause serious damage to the lungs, heart, and eyes. Doctors have advised citizens to avoid unnecessary outdoor activities, wear protective masks, and increase water intake to reduce health risks.
Citizens have warned that if timely action is not taken, smog could turn into a major public health crisis. They have called on the government to make urgent and practical decisions to protect the public from what many describe as a “silent killer.”
