The 'poor' air quality in Delhi is expected to cause breathing discomfort for most individuals, especially on prolonged exposure. The 'very poor' AQI levels recorded at Vivek Vihar and Jahangirpuri could lead to respiratory illnesses for vulnerable groups, including children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing health conditions. Elevated pollution levels in neighbouring cities such as Noida and Greater Noida also pose health risks. PM2.5 particles, the primary pollutant, can penetrate deep into the lungs, potentially causing long-term respiratory and cardiovascular issues.
