Winter air pollution in Delhi can seriously affect both lung and heart health due to high levels of fine particulate matter and toxic gases. Prolonged exposure may worsen respiratory conditions like Asthma, increase the risk of infections, and reduce overall lung function. Polluted air can also strain the cardiovascular system, contributing to high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke risk over time.
Children, elderly individuals, and people with existing medical conditions are especially vulnerable. Experts recommend limiting outdoor exposure, using protective masks, staying hydrated, and monitoring air quality regularly during severe pollution periods.
