Many hospitals in the city have reported a hike in respiratory diseases like asthma and bronchitis.This is due to the increase in the pollution levels. Smoke from factories, soil dust and vehicular emissions have led to a sharp increase in air pollution.
It was reported that the Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM)and the Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter(RSPM) have been found to be higher than the standard which causes respiratory ailments. These particulates are very small and they enter deep into the respiratory tract of human beings.
I think,we can help reduce such problems by controlling pollution at an individual level. We can walk for short distances instead of taking our cars or vehicles and should turn off the car engines while waiting at the red lights.We can go in for car pooling and should make sure we promote afforestation.
If you guys have any other ways to reduce air pollution please feel free to post and pass on this message.
I am sure with our honest efforts we will bring a good change for our planet :)
