Project Summary
The atmospheric pollutants or gases that form smog are released in the air
when fuels are burnt. When sunlight and its heat react with these gases and
fine particles in the atmosphere, smog is formed. Ground level ozone and fine
particles are released in the air due to complex photochemical reactions
between volatile organic compounds (VOC), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and
nitrogen oxides (NOx). It is harmful to humans, animals, plants and the nature
as a whole. The aim of this study is to solve the problem of smog in Pakistan’s
second largest city, home to more than 10 million people, is facing elevated
levels of air pollution due to rapid industrialization, growing vehicular
emissions, loss of tree cover and increased crop burning and coal based
industrial emissions from neighboring India causing residents respiratory
difficulties eye irritation and cardiac complications among other ailments. The
project is conducted to effectively present the mitigation measures for smog
pollution prevention. The objective of the mitigations of smog is to improve
air quality and reduce the air pollution episodes in Lahore.
Protect yourself by wearing face masks Governments should take strict measures
under the supervision of Central Govt. to act
against biomass burning and teach farmers
alternative use of left-over straw for energy
and manure.
Avoid wood and coal burning is the primary The Government needs to impose strict
cause of smog. approval requirements for new investment
projects regarding energy-saving and
environmental protection, and restricting the
investment of industries with high energy
consumption and high pollution levels in
environmentally vulnerable areas.
Avoid using your own cars and vehicles on Water sprinklers/ mist fountains can also
heavy smog days. used to avoid dust re-suspension.
Plants and trees can absorb carbon dioxide,
it’s vital that more green plants and trees are
planted, so they can help absorb and reduce
the cause of the growing heat in the
atmosphere.
Strengths Weakness
Solve the problem of smog Revenues are insufficient.
Good performance of air monitors Decreasing overall investment in
provides data a good basis for the basic mitigation services.

Expected Achievements/Results/Outputs
Survey for identification of health risks of smog in Ravi town
The dense population of Ravi town will be observed for identifying health
impacts of smog and by set up air monitors to check the concentration of
particulate matter of this locality.
Dissemination of Results
