The combination of smog and fog has created hazardous conditions for residents, particularly those with respiratory or cardiovascular issues. The reduced visibility has also increased the risk of road accidents and disrupted air travel. Areas such as Bawana, Burari, and Jahangirpuri are experiencing severe air quality, with PM2.5 levels recorded at 170 micrograms per cubic metre, 34 times the World Health Organisation's annual guideline value.
