Pakistan's smog is visible from space. This activist is 'frustrated' but won't give up
"It's like living in a gas chamber," says Afia Salam, an activist fighting to clean up Pakistan's air
The air in Pakistan is so polluted that it's visible from space. The smog is a major health hazard, causing respiratory problems, heart disease, and even cancer.
Afia Salam is an activist who has been fighting to clean up Pakistan's air for years. She says that the air pollution is so bad that it's like living in a gas chamber.
Salam has been working to raise awareness about the issue of air pollution in Pakistan. She has also been working to push the government to take action to reduce pollution.
Salam's work is paying off. The government has recently announced a new plan to reduce air pollution. The plan includes measures to reduce emissions from vehicles, factories, and power plants.
Salam says that she is hopeful that the new plan will help to improve air quality in Pakistan. However, she says that there is still a lot of work to be done.
"We need to keep fighting until the air in Pakistan is clean," Salam says. "We need to make sure that everyone has the right to breathe clean air."
Here are some of the things that Salam is doing to fight air pollution in Pakistan:
- Raising awareness about the issue of air pollution
- Pushing the government to take action
- Working with communities to reduce air pollution
- Educating people about the health effects of air pollution
- Advocating for clean energy policies
