Seven million premature deaths are recorded annually as a consequence of air pollution. We see an increase in cases of bronchitis & exacerbations of chronic lung diseases eg asthma & COPD. The effects are not confined to the lungs though - although the lungs are the primary route for fine airborne particles to enter the body, impact is also felt in the neurological & cardiovascular systems, amongst others. While overarching policies are essential, these often take time to implement. In this clip by Astro AWANI, I share some thoughts on what we can do more locally. https://lnkd.in/g4bM3aDk

I’m currently working with MBSJ to work on their SDG progress reporting and their works are amazing in helping PKD to control tobacco usage in public. They apply their capacity to enforce an act on throwing trash not at its place under anti-litter program. Those who litter cigarettes buts will be given compounds once they’re caught to do so at the site.
