The deteriorating air quality during the festive season poses health risks, particularly for individuals with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory or cardiovascular conditions. Fine particulate matter can penetrate deep into the lungs, potentially causing systemic inflammation and exacerbating existing health issues. Children, senior citizens, and those with respiratory sensitivities are especially vulnerable. Additionally, the increased pollution can negatively impact animals and the environment, contributing to long-term ecological damage.
