Rising Air Pollution Linked to Respiratory and Mental Health Symptoms in Delhi-NCR
Rising air pollution levels, particularly in Delhi-NCR, are linked to various health symptoms beyond respiratory issues. Common signs include persistent coughing, throat irritation, burning eyes, shortness of breath, and headaches. Experts also warn that prolonged exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) may impact brain health, potentially causing concentration difficulties, anxiety, and depression. These effects arise as pollutants can enter the bloodstream and brain, triggering inflammation and oxidative stress, highlighting broader health concerns amid worsening air quality.
