SMART ANALYSIS
Cause: INCREASED RISK OF POOR AIR QUALITY LEADING TO AIR POLLUTIONS
SPECIFIC:
Air quality leading to pollution can be reduced on high air pollution days by staying
indoors, reducing outdoor air infiltration to indoors, cleaning indoor air with air filters,
and limiting physical exertion, especially outdoors and near air pollution sources.
MEASURABLE:
Create and begin the community organization program as soon as possible or
within one year. Then provide information and free education about the cause and
effects of air pollution (what and which makes people vulnerable to air pollution).
Educate community about the AQI and person may plan outdoor activities when AQI
is lower, usually in the morning or evening. The local media-newspapers, television
and radio should always provide AQI reports telling the public when AQI levels are
predicted to be unhealthy.
ACHIEVABLE:
After creating an organization in the community, we try to reach and accommodate
with the other community organizations like this. Make the crew members interact
with the people so that they can understand their problems and what makes them
increase risk of air pollution.
1) Keep the greenery outdoorsIndoor plants are pretty, but they can also collect and foster the growth of mold,
which later might give some chronic allergy.
2) Invest in an air purifierPlace it in the most commonly used areas of the house, these devices, can help
capture some of the irritants that may trigger your symptoms.
3) Renewable fuel and clean energy productionThe most basic solution for air pollution is to move away from fossil fuels, replacing
them with alternative energies like solar, wind and geothermal.
4) Eco-friendly transportation Government should also promote shifting to electric vehicles and hydrogen
vehicles, and promoting shared mobility could reduce air pollution.
5) Reduce or eliminate fireplace home and wood stove use in kitchen.
RELEVANT:
Provide an education program outlining the health and environmental hazards of
current problems that make air pollution.
Combining the provision of new technologies with an education program that
highlights the worth of the new prevention and treatment techniques helps meet the
central goal of promoting more efficiency and improving the long- term health of local
community members.
TIMELY:
Providing new measures within one year of preventing the increased risk of poor
air quality. The projects and goals should have specific deadlines and timely goals to
be completed , so the revenue spent on these does not get wasted in the allocated
budget before the problem is solved.
