💨 Abstract

Lahore, Pakistan is suffering from severe smog pollution, with air quality reaching hazardous levels. The smog is affecting the health of 14 million residents, particularly children and the elderly. Schools have been temporarily closed, and people are staying indoors for protection, but air purifiers are too expensive for most families. The pollution is caused by industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, and agricultural stubble burning, and efforts to mitigate it have been unsuccessful.
