In the current era, Afghanistan may find itself hard pressed to improve pollution
levels due to a number of geo-political issues. However, the numbers can be
chopped down by interpersonal approaches, such as education and government
initiatives. For one, the phasing out and eventual removal of low quality, high
pollution producing vehicles that inhabit the road would go a very long way in
putting a dent in the ambient pollution levels.
Warning people about the dangers of burning plastics, rubber and other dangerous
materials may help to prevent their abuse, and the subsequent release of clouds
of highly toxic fumes into the air that create the disastrous PM2.5 levels seen
during the colder months.
