The health effects of firecracker smoke are particularly concerning for individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions, children, and the elderly. Prolonged exposure to these pollutants can worsen asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory issues. The stagnant air during early mornings after Diwali increases the concentration of harmful particles, posing a higher risk to those engaging in outdoor activities such as jogging or walking. This can lead to discomfort and exacerbate health problems, especially for vulnerable groups.
