The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has decided to set up stations in major cities to check air quality that would work under the Environmental Protection Agency (EPI).
The Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) said that the air quality monitoring stations will work in major cities affected by toxic smog.
The KP environment protection organizations have welcomed the government’s plan and hoped that it would be helpful in keeping a check on KP’s environment.
The official of PDMA said” After the establishment of the stations, air quality index will be made available to all government departments and people to adopt mitigation measures.
The authority declared that “smog is one of the most serious health hazards and can be fatal to human health, especially to children.”
