The deteriorating air quality poses significant health risks, particularly to vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory conditions. Prolonged exposure to polluted air can lead to respiratory issues, cardiovascular problems, and other health complications. Cities like Delhi and Ballabgarh are experiencing hazardous AQI levels, making outdoor activities unsafe. The normalisation of such conditions raises concerns about long-term health impacts and the need for year-round pollution control measures.
