The severe air quality in Delhi is causing health concerns, particularly for individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions. Medical professionals have reported an increase in patients experiencing aggravated symptoms such as coughing, throat irritation, and shortness of breath. Some patients require higher doses of medication, including inhalers and oral steroids. The poor air quality is attributed to a combination of factors, including vehicular emissions, construction activities, stubble burning, and winter weather conditions, which exacerbate pollution levels.
