This special report focuses on India’s escalating public health crisis due to severe air pollution, featuring insights from top medical experts Dr. Balbir Singh, Dr. Vivek Nangia, and Dr. Nihar Parikh. Dr. Balbir Singh states, ‘the commonest cause of death due to pollution is heart, not the lung.’ The discussion reveals how particulate matter as small as 2.5 microns can trigger a devastating inflammatory cascade, leading not just to respiratory issues but also to brain strokes, heart attacks, and a rise in lung cancer among non-smokers. The experts highlight the severe impact on children, from inhibited lung development to mental retardation, and note that pollution has been shown to reduce lifespans by up to 12 years. The panel examines how major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Lucknow are grappling with hazardous AQI levels, making the air dangerous to breathe.
