WHO is organizing the International Day of clean Air for Blue skies

 

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter”

-Martin Luther King Jr.

Perfect, this quote says all that I need to convey. When we stop talking about the things that are necessary for our survival, our lives are going to be ended in a hopeless manner.

The gist of my talk is the fundamental element of human endurance, I mean AIR. Clean air!

Importance of Clean Air

Air pollution (contamination in clean air) is the leading cause of death burden, attributed to 5 million deaths per year globally.

Polluted air is the reason for 40% heart diseases, 40% stroke, 11% chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 6% lung cancer, and also 3% acute lower respiratory infections. These all are those diseases that make a man feel uncomfortable consistently and give stress.

Now and then, we must have to take precautionary measures for the well being of all and to make our survival possible on this planet. Just think about it from today, otherwise, it will be too late.

Are you willing to die due to lung cancer or other respiratory problems? Your answer is clear...

Due to the global lockdown imposed to control COVID-19, the concentration of NO₂ has decreased that's why air pollution has also decreased but now when automobiles and other technologies consume and will burn the fuel, graph of air pollution will also go up. 

Now, you have to answer a simple question to yourself, proposed by Lee Iacocca

You want to get 100% clean and pure air, for sure. World Health Organization (WHO) also thinks for you in the same way. So, it is going to organize the International Day of Clean Air For Blue Skies

Objectives of This Day

The very first International Day of Clean Air for blue skies will be held tight on September 7th, 2020.

The Day intends to:

1. Raise public awareness & mindfulness at all levels—individual, smaller or larger groups, corporate and government—that clean air is significant for well-being, prosperity, profitability, the economy, and nature.
2. Promote and empower the arrangements that can improve air quality by sharing noteworthy information, imperative data best practices, developments, and examples of overcoming adversity.
3. Show the nearby connection of air quality to other ecological/developmental challenges, like – most and chief – environmental change and the worldwide sustainable Advancement Objectives. 
4. Unite different worldwide entertainers taking a shot at this subject to frame a vital coalition to pick up force for purposeful national, provincial, and global methodologies for effective air quality administration.

So after acknowledging these objectives of the day, safeguard yourself and pay attention to WHO updates on 7th September 2020 in order to make human endurance possible as we have recently faced a pandemic which also causes respiratory problems and now we are not in a position to face another.

WHO is also working with Breathe life companions to organize this event. 

The series of video about air pollution and health are now available on Youtube also. 

In a short note, this article is to spread awareness and I want human safety so I recommend you all to take precautionary measures like wearing masks while going outside, build the industrial area far from cities, plant seeds, do morning walk in the fresh air and also keep yourself updated by paying attention to what WHO is planning for you. 

NOTE: If you think in the same way as I am and want others healthy then share my words with as many people as you can.
