Air pollution of red-alert level :
For the second time in a single fortnight time, the Chinese authority has raised red-alert against high level of pollution in air causing severe health threat to public health living in major industrial cities, the Capital Beijing in particular. The air there have a high density of dust, waste material particles etc. with high toxic mix. This polluted toxic air is causing HRTI (Higher Respirator Truck Infection) to the children, aged persons and even to the young industrial workers.
All for this menacing problem, fuel exorts, including gas emissions, is one of the major causes. Besides, CFC emissions and industrial fuel fussion and smokes from burning domestic waste are other factors contributing to aggravate the problem further reaching it to the dangerous red-alert level.
The scenario in Dhaka – where we live – is no different. It may rather be called even worse. But the tragedy is that in China the concerned authority is serious to solve the crisis. But in Dhaka, the authorities – whatever that be – seem rather non-chalant and feel no accountability for their deeds whatever damaging that may be. For a relief, people have, no option left but pray for God’s mercy.
