Dark exhausts from vehicles may disappear into the air, but its impact remains, polluting the atmosphere and threatening public health.

The Exhausts Left Behind

While traveling, I noticed thick black smoke coming out of the vehicle ahead.

As the smoke drifted toward me, it became difficult to breathe comfortably.

The air felt heavy, and even a short exposure caused irritation and discomfort.

What struck me most was that this was a school van: a vehicle responsible for transporting children.

The visible exhaust was a reminder that air pollution is not just an environmental issue but also a public health concern.

Every puff of black smoke contains harmful pollutants that can affect the lungs and overall well-being of those nearby. This encounter made me realise how vehicle emissions directly impact our daily lives.

Cleaner vehicles, proper maintenance, and stricter emission control measures are essential if we want roads that are not only safe to travel on but also safe to breathe around.

विकास कि फोहोर ?

"सडकको छेउमै यसरी थुप्रिएको फोहोर केवल दुर्गन्धको समस्या मात्र होइन, यो वातावरण, जनस्वास्थ्य र भविष्यप्रतिको ठूलो चुनौती हो ।"

"यो कुनै पहाड होइन, फोहोरको थुप्रो हो।" सडक छेउमै यति ठूलो परिमाणमा थुपारिएको फोहोरले वातावरण मात्र होइन, स्थानीय बासिन्दाको स्वास्थ्यमा पनि प्रत्यक्ष असर पार्ने जोखिम बढाएको छ।
