The smog in Delhi poses significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing respiratory conditions. Prolonged exposure to polluted air can lead to respiratory illnesses, eye irritation, and cardiovascular problems. The reduced visibility also increases the risk of road accidents, while the overall quality of life declines due to restricted outdoor activities and a general sense of discomfort. The festive season, which coincides with the onset of winter, further aggravates the situation with increased traffic and firecracker usage.
