Av,

Totally understand your worries dude, you have brought up a very good point here.. amongst many other the major problem our nation faces..not many think about the dangers of air pollution. It's all too much hai especially when you bring family and friends into the equation. As a whole, this is the time we fear most for our close ones back home through out these bad times. All you can advise them to do right now regarding air pollution is to wear mouth masks where-ever possible. About the other problems...well i think venturing outside only when it is very necessary would be one solution ... decreases the exposure to the violence and corrupt minded people out there who are looking out to commit crimes.

I know we are an impoverished country but surely there has to be Environmental Agency who should be setting some standards on emissions from factories and industrial pollutants. I'm not too clued up on the intricate details on air pollution but i'm sure looking for alternative energy from burning fossil fuels is a solution too...?? 

One worry of mine is the lack of sanitation. I haven't been back home recently but i hear there are garbage heaps that emit massively foul odours in every place on every road. We need systems for all these areas.. of course the people would be asked to pay tax in order to receive such a system..... soooo frustrating.........

God help restore our beloved country!!
