The poor air quality in Bangalore poses mild health risks, particularly for sensitive groups such as individuals with asthma, heart conditions, allergies, sinus issues, or chronic respiratory diseases like COPD. Prolonged exposure to the current AQI levels can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing, sneezing, nasal congestion, and fatigue. The air pollution is equivalent to smoking 2.6 cigarettes per day, emphasizing the need for caution. Vulnerable populations, including children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing health conditions, should limit outdoor activities and take measures to protect their respiratory health.
