Health and Indoor Air Quality Concerns During Diwali Celebrations
Diwali celebrations involve traditional practices like burning incense sticks, camphor, dhoop, scented candles, and lighting diyas, which can contribute to indoor air pollution, especially in poorly ventilated spaces. This pollution may cause respiratory irritation and worsen conditions like asthma. Additionally, common festive health mistakes include overeating sweets, neglecting food hygiene, and exposure to firecracker smoke, which can lead to digestive issues, respiratory discomfort, and other health problems. Experts advise moderation and precautions to maintain well-being during the festival.
