The temporary improvement in air quality due to rainfall does not eliminate the risks associated with winter pollution, which can worsen as winds slow and moisture traps pollutants. Green crackers, while reducing emissions by approximately 30%, still pose health risks due to ultrafine particle spikes and lingering metal exposure. Students, particularly those with respiratory conditions like asthma, are advised to avoid exposure to firecracker emissions and keep reliever inhalers handy. Poor air quality can also impact visibility and transportation, potentially disrupting daily activities and exam schedules.
