The deteriorating air quality in Mumbai poses significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing respiratory conditions. The AQI levels between 150 and 200 indicate unhealthy air, which can lead to respiratory issues, reduced lung function, and other health complications. The situation is expected to worsen with the upcoming Diwali celebrations, as increased use of firecrackers is likely to contribute to both air and noise pollution. The lack of enforcement of pollution control measures further amplifies the risks to public health and safety.
