GRAP 4 in Delhi: Doctor explains how pollution from old vehicles affects health
Share
The implementation of GRAP 4 (Graded Response Action Plan) in Delhi highlights the severe impact of pollution, particularly from old vehicles, on public health. According to doctors, emissions from aging vehicles release high levels of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide, which contribute to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Prolonged exposure can worsen asthma, bronchitis, and even lead to lung cancer. Children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing conditions are especially vulnerable. Reducing pollution requires strict enforcement of vehicle bans, promoting cleaner fuels, and encouraging public transport to ensure better air quality and overall health.
