💨 Abstract

Pakistan's Punjab province has declared a health emergency due to toxic smog, banning construction, shutting schools for another week, and moving universities online. The province's capital Lahore currently ranks as the world's most polluted city. A three-day lockdown is possible if the situation does not improve. The government has ordered the closure of construction, brick kilns, and furnace-based plants, and extended online learning for another week.
