Living in New Delhi, India, I often feel that clean air has become a luxury. In a city bustling with opportunities and modern conveniences, the cost of accessibility is our health. Despite not being a smoker, I find myself donning a mask whenever I step outside.
While going through the newspaper this morning, Businessline article caught my attention. Realised the AQI ain't unhealthy, it's on extreme
Even Recent reports indicate that areas like Anand Vihar have recorded an AQI as high as 627, which is 59 times above the WHO's safe limit. This situation is alarming.
Well the situation is not just about discomfort; it’s about our well-being and the future of the cities. The impact of poor air quality extends beyond respiratory issues; affecting overall health, productivity, and quality of life.
It’s crucial for us to advocate for cleaner air and push for sustainable practices that can help restore the balance between urban living and environmental health. We need to support policies that prioritize green spaces, promote public transportation, and encourage cleaner industries.
Let’s raise awareness about this pressing issue and work together to make clean air not just a luxury but a fundamental right for everyone. After all, clean air should not be a luxury but a fundamental right for everyone.
