HealthPhoto: HT HealthDoctor Warns of Respiratory Risks from Festive Smoke and Winter Pollution
Dr. Mrinal Sircar, a respiratory and sleep medicine expert, explains that during the festive season, air quality worsens due to firecrackers, vehicle emissions, and dust. Winter conditions like low wind and temperature inversion trap pollutants near the ground, increasing exposure. Children, elderly, and asthma patients are especially vulnerable, facing risks like throat irritation, coughing, wheezing, and asthma attacks.
