Delhi-NCR Pollution Health Hazards
Delhi-NCR pollution is silently damaging lungs. Breathing toxic air can have severe consequences.
Air pollution in Delhi-NCR is a serious issue, especially during winter when the area is covered in fog. The air is filled with pollutants like PM2.5, PM10, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, and ozone.
These fine particles easily enter the lungs and bloodstream. PM 2.5 is the most harmful, being approximately 30 times smaller than a human hair, making it impossible for the body to filter naturally.
Instead of just breathing in the air in the smog season in Delhi, you are also breathing in a combination of PM2.5, PM10, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide and ozone.
