The high levels of air pollution pose severe health risks to the residents of Ghaziabad and the Delhi NCR region. Long-term exposure to PM2.5 particles increases the likelihood of lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory issues. Vulnerable groups, including children, are particularly at risk, with air pollution being identified as a significant environmental hazard to child health. Many residents report persistent respiratory problems, eye irritation, and general discomfort. The pollution has also been linked to a significant number of deaths in Delhi, with an estimated 17,188 fatalities in 2023 attributed to air pollution, making it the city's leading health risk factor.
