Experts Advise Caution as Delhi's Air Quality Deteriorates to Poor Levels
Delhi's rising air pollution, with AQI entering the 'poor' category, poses health risks including respiratory irritation and cardiovascular strain, especially for vulnerable groups like children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing conditions. Experts advise monitoring AQI before outdoor activities, limiting exposure during high pollution, and using protective measures such as N95 masks with proper fit. Medical evaluation may be recommended for symptomatic individuals or those with chronic respiratory issues. Indoor exercise is preferred when pollution levels are elevated.
