The persistent moderate air quality in Bengaluru poses health risks, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory conditions. Particulate matter, including PM2.5 and PM10, remains a significant contributor to pollution levels. Experts warn that as the rain subsides and soil dries, airborne dust could further degrade air quality. Additionally, weaker wind speeds due to El Niño conditions may exacerbate pollution dispersion issues, potentially leading to higher AQI levels during the winter months.
