The post-Diwali air pollution can lead to various health issues, including burning eyes, sore throat, wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and asthma attacks. Vulnerable groups such as children, pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory or heart conditions are at higher risk. Long-term exposure to polluted air can result in chronic bronchitis, reduced lung capacity, heart disease, and weakened immunity. Hospitals often report an increase in emergency visits for respiratory distress during this period, highlighting the severity of the issue.
