Former Director of AIIMS, Delhi, Dr. Randeep Guleria, has cautioned that
air pollution in the national capital and NCR region seriously affects
people’s organs. Director of the Division of Pulmonary Medicine and Sleep
Disorders, Dr. Guleria, recently told ANI, “It’s a bigger contributor to
impairment than tobacco smoking. Tobacco use is rarely discussed, while
smoking is frequently discussed. Although smoking was once a major
contributor to disability, air pollution is now the leading cause.”

“The AQI is currently in the severe category, a trend we unhappily observe
annually. In the recent past, there were spikes to around 900. It’s natural
to worry about the substantial effects on people’s health. More than 1.24
million people in India may lose their lives each year due to air
pollution, according to a 2017 study. As a result, we can infer that it
results in a great deal of incapacity and death. There is a widespread
issue, “Dr. Guleria elaborated.
