The poor air quality poses significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing respiratory conditions. Prolonged exposure to high pollution levels can lead to respiratory and cardiovascular issues. The situation is exacerbated by the onset of winter, which brings lower temperatures and reduced wind speeds, trapping pollutants closer to the ground. The combination of local emissions, stubble burning, and festive activities has further worsened the air quality, making it a public health concern.
