Air quality in Delhi has entered the “severe” category, raising major concerns about its impact on public health. Experts warn that prolonged exposure to polluted air can irritate the lungs, reduce oxygen intake, and worsen conditions like Asthma and bronchitis. Fine particulate matter may also affect heart health, immunity, eyes, and overall well-being.
Children, elderly individuals, pregnant women, and people with existing medical conditions are especially vulnerable. Doctors advise limiting outdoor exposure, wearing protective masks, staying hydrated, and monitoring AQI levels regularly to reduce health risks during periods of severe pollution.
