Delhi's Poor Air Quality Linked to Skin Damage and Increased Headache Risk
Delhi-NCR's air quality reached poor levels with an AQI of 244, raising health concerns beyond respiratory issues. Dermatologists warn that pollution, including fine particulate matter like PM2.5, can damage the skin barrier, causing dryness, irritation, pigmentation, and premature ageing. Additionally, doctors note that poor air quality may trigger headaches and migraines by activating inflammatory responses. Experts recommend protective skincare routines and minimizing exposure to pollution and UV rays to reduce these health impacts amid worsening air conditions.
