Health Risks and Precautions Amid Rising Air Pollution in Delhi-NCR and Indian Cities
Delhi-NCR and other Indian cities face severe air pollution post-Diwali, with PM2.5 levels causing respiratory, cardiovascular, and developmental health risks. Vulnerable groups like children, elderly, and pregnant women are advised to limit outdoor exposure, wear N95 masks, and use air purifiers. Experts highlight that lung damage may occur silently without symptoms, and while some recovery is possible, permanent harm can persist. Indoor exercise, hydration, balanced nutrition, and monitoring live AQI are recommended to mitigate pollution's effects.
