The hazardous AQI levels pose severe health risks, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing respiratory or cardiovascular conditions. Prolonged exposure to such high pollution levels can lead to respiratory distress, aggravated asthma, and other health complications. The widespread nature of the pollution, affecting cities across multiple states, indicates a pressing need for comprehensive air quality management strategies. The situation is particularly concerning in cities like Sri Ganganagar, Faridkot, and Bathinda, where AQI levels have reached critical thresholds.
