Smog has become a serious health hazard over the past years, particularly in Punjab. It irritates your eyes, throat, and lungs. More than this it worsens respiratory conditions such as asthma.
Unfortunately, for those with chronic illnesses, smog makes matters far worse. Lahore, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, and Multan have frequently reported extreme levels of worsened air quality. To protect yourself, these next few precautionary steps are essential for your well-being.
How To Stay Safe During Smoggy Days
1. Limit outdoor activities
Spend more time indoors on days when air quality levels are poor, especially if you live in high-traffic areas. Add air purifiers in every room, and plants such as aloe-vera, and snake plant to improve the air around you naturally.
2. Wear Masks Outdoors To Protect Yourself
Use a face mask to reduce the amount of harmful particles you inhale. The N95 mask in particular is recommended for smoggy days. Bike users should also wear protective glasses to shield their eyes from dusty air.
3. Monitor Air Quality
Stay updated on local Air Quality Index (AQI) levels and follow health advisories. Either download apps, or follow reliable websites to make ensure you’re not at the wrong place at the wrong time.
4. Hydrate and Rest To Protect Yourself
Drink lots of water to keep your respiratory system hydrated. This hydration will replenish your respiratory system. Plus, take breaks in shaded areas if you have to be outside.
5. Reduce Pollution
Every little contribution matters! Protect yourself and those around you by driving less, avoiding smoking, and minimizing any activities that can contribute to air pollution. If you must drive, drive slowly and use headlights during smoggy conditions to stay safe. 
It’s important to be vigilant of your surroundings when the environment is not safe. Health is definitely not something to laze around about either. Grab your N95 masks now! and remain in clean environments.
