ISLAMABAD POLLUTION

Published February 25, 2023

The federal capital has seen a rapid increase in the use of private transportation and the number of industrial units in recent years. This has increased air pollution and the risk of health hazards for the locals. Hospitals in Islamabad have already seen an unexpected rise in the number of patients with symptoms of chronic illness. The government should take action to control pollution and decrease health risks.
