Experts Advise Precautions for Children and Asthma Patients Amid Rising Air Pollution
Rising air pollution, especially in Delhi-NCR, poses health risks for vulnerable groups like children and asthma patients. Experts advise asthma sufferers to keep inhalers accessible, maintain regular medication, and follow vaccination recommendations to prevent flare-ups. Children’s developing lungs are more susceptible to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), which can cause inflammation and respiratory issues. Parents are urged to monitor air quality and limit outdoor activities during high pollution periods, particularly in winter mornings, to protect children’s lung health.
