Worsening air pollution in Delhi is raising serious concerns about respiratory and long-term health risks. Experts warn that prolonged exposure to harmful pollutants can increase the chances of conditions like Lung Cancer, asthma, and chronic respiratory illnesses. Fine particulate matter and toxic gases from vehicles, construction, and industrial emissions can damage the lungs and weaken immunity over time.
Children, elderly individuals, and those with pre-existing conditions are especially vulnerable. Health experts stress the importance of pollution control, wearing protective masks, and limiting outdoor exposure during poor air quality conditions to reduce risks.
