Air quality in Delhi has entered the “severe” category with AQI levels crossing 400, prompting the implementation of GRAP-III restrictions. Doctors warn that exposure to such toxic air can increase the risk of respiratory infections, breathing difficulties, and worsen conditions like Asthma and heart disease.
Fine particulate matter can deeply affect the lungs and bloodstream, especially among children, elderly individuals, and people with pre-existing illnesses. Health experts advise limiting outdoor activities, wearing masks, staying hydrated, and monitoring air quality regularly to reduce exposure and protect overall health.
