Health Precautions and Air Quality Management
The persistent Delhi pollution situation demands specific health measures from residents. Vulnerable populations, including children, elderly persons, and those with respiratory conditions, should minimize outdoor exposure, particularly during early morning and evening hours when pollution peaks. The Delhi air quality remains in severe territory despite the government's attempted cloud-seeding intervention. Physical activities should be deferred until AQI readings improve below 300. Air purifiers with HEPA filters are recommended for indoor use. Residents should monitor real-time Delhi air pollution updates through official CPCB sources before planning outdoor activities.
