Delhi AQI Today: The level of pollution in Delhi is proving poisonous for the people since last 25 days. The situation is such that now even breathing is becoming difficult. This situation is proving fatal for people suffering from respiratory problems. Doctors are advising people to wear masks to reduce the effects of smog, but wearing masks all the time is also harmful for health.
Dr Ujjwal Parakh, senior consultant, department of chest medicine, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, said, “Prolonged exposure to pollutants can lead to inflammation, narrowing of the airways and reduced lung function, leading to asthma, COPD or chronic bronchitis. “The usual treatment of such conditions becomes even more difficult.”
At the same time, Dr. Ankita Gupta, Assistant Professor, Department of Respiratory Medicine, said that air pollution increases respiratory diseases by sending particles into the lungs. This can cause symptoms like difficulty in breathing, sore throat and in some cases secondary infection.
