Smog levels in Islamabad are climbing rapidly, prompting a Government Health Alert: Complete Guide to Rising Smog Levels and Official Safety Advisory to help citizens stay safe during the dry and cold weather conditions. As air quality in Pakistan continues to decline, the Ministry of National Health has issued a public health warning highlighting the growing dangers of air pollution exposure and smog-related diseases.
Smog forms when polluted air particles from vehicle emissions, burning waste, and industrial activity mix with fog. These pollutants can trigger respiratory problems due to smog, eye irritation, chest pain, and asthma triggers—especially among vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and people with chronic illnesses. Officials warn that the effects of air particles on health can worsen existing respiratory conditions and even lead to long-term complications.
The latest government smog advisory advises staying indoors during heavy smog, keeping windows closed, and minimizing vehicle use whenever possible. Wearing masks outdoors, staying hydrated, and following indoor air safety tips—such as using air purifiers or wet-mopping floors—can significantly reduce exposure to air pollution. People experiencing medical symptoms caused by smog, including difficulty breathing or intense eye irritation, are advised to seek medical attention immediately.
Environmental health guidelines also stress the importance of prevention. Avoid burning wood or waste, follow pollution control measures, and raise awareness about smog prevention to reduce its growing threat. Communities can also monitor smog advisory updates from reliable sources like ARY News to stay informed.
