Dangerous level of pollution remains: Experts said – pollution of firecrackers is dangerous for the elderly, patients who have recovered from corona are also harmed

People did not put any shortage in fireworks on Diwali, the result of which is being seen now. Delhi’s air quality index is also in the severe category on Saturday morning. The AQI in Delhi is 533. The air quality in Delhi was very poor on Friday. The amount of PM 2.5 in the air was measured at 655.07 in Delhi’s Janpath.

This smoke is fatal for patients
Doctors say that this pollution of firecrackers can cause significant harm to people’s health. Especially the elderly and those people who have defeated Corona. Dr Ashok Seth, Chairman, Fortis Escorts Heart Institute said that the level of Air Quality Index (AQI) has become extremely dangerous. Inhaling this air can be fatal for people who have lung or heart diseases. Pollution causes difficulty in breathing, so those who already have asthma or any other respiratory disease are likely to worsen it.

The elderly are at greatest risk. Pollution also swells the heart tubes, in which case blood clotting can also lead to a heart attack. People who have recovered from Kovid are also in danger. Most of the people would have had lung related problems in Corona, which will still have some effect. The toxic air of firecrackers can damage the lungs of those people.
