Abstract

Lahore has once again topped the list of the most polluted cities in the world. The situation becomes worse during the winter when the heart of Pakistan faces the "smog season". The transportation and industrial sectors are significant contributors to air pollution, which together hold 68 % share of the total. It is therefore, highly recommended to minimize vehicular and industrial emissions in order to improve air quality. In this study, a straightforward approach is proposed to regulate industrial discharge and traffic throughout the winter. According to estimates, using this technique to the transportation sector, the air pollution can be reduced by 21.5 %. The industrial sector may reduce air pollution by 12.5 % by using a similar strategy. The compound model predicts an overall reduction in air pollution of 34 %.
