The smoky haze and fluctuating AQI levels in Ahmedabad pose health risks, especially for individuals with respiratory conditions, children, and the elderly. Poor air quality during evening hours, peaking at 197 AQI, may lead to discomfort, breathing difficulties, and other health concerns. The absence of precipitation and low wind speeds may contribute to the persistence of pollutants in the air, exacerbating the situation. Residents are advised to limit outdoor activities during high AQI periods.
