Delhi-NCR Pollution Health Hazards
Delhi-NCR pollution is silently damaging lungs. Breathing toxic air can lead to serious health issues.
Air pollution in Delhi-NCR is a major concern, especially during winter when the area is covered in a blanket of fog. This fog hides a deadly reality: the air is filled with toxic particles that can destroy lungs.
When inhaling polluted air, the body takes in a combination of PM2.5, PM10, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, and ozone. These fine particles easily enter the lungs and bloodstream.
The worst of them all is PM 2.5, which is approximately 30 times smaller than the size of a human hair; hence, it cannot be filtered by the body naturally.
