Very useful information for CSS aspirants. Air pollution has a significant impact on life expectancy. Prolonged exposure to air pollutants, such as fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (O3), can lead to various health problems, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. These health issues can reduce life expectancy in the following ways: Respiratory Problems: Air pollution can exacerbate respiratory conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Prolonged exposure may lead to lung infections and decreased lung function, affecting overall health. Cardiovascular Issues: Air pollution is linked to heart problems like heart attacks, strokes, and hypertension. These conditions can be life-threatening and reduce life expectancy. Cancer Risk: Certain air pollutants, such as benzene and formaldehyde, are carcinogenic. Long-term exposure can increase the risk of developing lung cancer and other cancers, reducing life expectancy. Premature Death: Studies have shown that long-term exposure to high levels of air pollution can lead to premature death. It contributes to a range of health problems that can shorten life expectancy. Vulnerable Populations: Children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of air pollution. For them, the impact on life expectancy can be even more pronounced. Efforts to reduce air pollution through stricter regulations, cleaner energy sources, and lifestyle changes can help mitigate these effects and improve overall life expectancy
Dr. Munawar Sabir is a genuine intellectual treasure, consistently impressing with his depth of knowledge and insightful contributions. This discussion on the concerning decline in life expectancy in Pakistan is a testament to his dedication to addressing critical issues. Keep rocking Sir (y)
The topic is very important.. burning and based on currenr situation of environmental pollution prevailing in our region. Prof. Dr. Munawar sahib pointout real dimensions of this alarming situation. Now next step is to how we can minimize the impacts of pollution? Life expectancy is going to be reduced during last a few years in most polluted areas ang amog affected areas... I hope Dr. Sahib will give more valuable suggestions and remidies in this perspective. We can not reverse the situation but we ahoul focus on adoptibility.
This informative podcast delivers a wealth of knowledge with impeccable research and engaging storytelling, leaving listeners enlightened and eager for more and Prof Munawer's expertise shines through in this episode, weaving complex subjects into easily digestible content that leaves audiences educated and inspired👍
Shocking thing in the research of Air quality index is that they have very poor data of a city due to less resources. You can easily check some organizations live AQI meters and they change upto 50% with location. Just place 3 AQI meters in industrial zones and you are on top of Worst AQI countries. It is unbelievable that they then rank countries with such data.
Forest cover, air pollution, and life expectancy are interconnected. Forests help purify the air by trapping pollutants, improving air quality. This cleaner air enhances human health, reducing respiratory diseases, and ultimately increasing life expectancy. Forests also act as carbon sinks, mitigating climate change, which further benefits both health and longevity. Preserving and expanding forest cover is vital for a healthier and longer life.
Spreading awareness is the first step towards catalyzing change. By educating ourselves and others about these pressing issues, we can foster a sense of responsibility and urgency, prompting collective action. Let us come together to address the challenges posed by air pollution and deforestation, working towards a healthier, more sustainable future for all.
#great #Orator of this time. #WTI sir kahan chupa ke rakha tha. Isey podcast main baar baar bolayien. Hum sunna chahte hain Manawar saab ko. I know since I watched his video on RU-vid back 2015. He rarely comes in podcast.
Air pollution in Pakistan is a pressing environmental issue characterized by high levels of particulate matter (PM), vehicular emissions, industrial pollution, and agricultural practices. It poses significant health risks, contributes to respiratory diseases, and impacts the overall quality of life.
Pakistan Meteorological Department has already used "Cloud Seeding" twice. Now with the help of the World Bank PMD will use it in Pakistan. Project in process
Please read the UN report on India success on reducing absolute poverty. The current government is giving free grain, monthly minimum income and even building houses for poor ppl.
Perhaps most importantly, the decreasing life expectancy in developing countries as a result of environmental factors is a matter of grave concern. Premature deaths due to air pollution-related illnesses and the ecological imbalances resulting from deforestation should galvanize us to take meaningful action. We must advocate for policies that prioritize public health, environmental protection, and sustainable development.
I don't understand that in our country Pakistan there are so many talented and intelligent personalities who know the truth of everything very deeply but still this country could not progress and it is economically, politically and socially. But it has been a weak country
How can we increase our standard of life without polluting the air? How can we produce green energy in big amount? Today's west is the result of pollution emitted in the past by them. China has done the same and btw China is facing the concequences of child birth policy and will face heavily in near future. We cannot change everything over night. Whole Arab is desert but stil they are managing their economy and environment both. Idc we will do everything untill we become a developed nation.
@@dmaniaxd5447 simple math! Less people less demand for natural resources. Earth can’t sustain current population where everyone wants an AC. Either we all live in heat or no one. I have a solution though simplistic! I have one and I follow it!
Sir we want to save Pakistan but our respected bureaucrats have dnt take part in conserve homeland. They use every vehicle which can cause pollution, they use ACs almost atleat in their washrooms. What the hack is this Sir munawar. And on the other side our poor people which do not avail one time bread for their homies. Respected Sir we see our country is on the edge of hell . But the major cause of this disaster is our beurocrates .
😂😂 24:00 ye expert pakstudies pdhke interview de rha hai.... majority population absolute poverty mein😂😂 agar aisa hota toh growth ki jagah deflation ho rhi hoti India mein😂😂..... Ye hai ecpert
Funny thing is 99% people in India and Pakistan do not have the intellegence or knowledge to understand what he is saying, leave alone understand how utterly wrong his kachranalysis is - I agree with him though that South Asia will become worst Asia, because of the oceans of ignorance and pseudoscience here.
In india people understand it. That was the reason it was a major election issue in Delhi. But at the same time his theory that smog is reducing life expectancy is not necessarily right. In india life expectancy has not gone down. In paksitan its a feature. This life is just a waiting room to jannat. No need to worry about it. Focus on deen.
