Air quality in Delhi has slipped into the “very poor” category, with doctors reporting a sharp rise in respiratory illnesses and pregnancy-related health concerns. Toxic pollutants and fine particulate matter can worsen breathing difficulties, irritate the lungs, and increase risks for vulnerable groups, including pregnant women.
Experts warn that prolonged exposure may aggravate conditions like Asthma and contribute to complications such as high blood pressure, reduced oxygen supply, and stress during pregnancy. Limiting outdoor exposure, wearing masks, staying hydrated, and maintaining clean indoor air are important steps to reduce pollution-related health risks.
