On this Special Report from India Today’s 5 Live, the focus is on Delhi’s perennial air pollution crisis and its severe health consequences. A roundtable of esteemed doctors, including cardiologist Dr. Balbir Singh, pulmonologist Dr. Vivek Nangia, and rheumatologist Dr. Vimlesh Dharpande, discusses the alarming medical impact. Dr. Balbir Singh states, ‘What we forget is that the commonest cause of death due to pollution is heart, not the lung.’ The programme delves into how toxic air is a silent killer, causing not just respiratory ailments but also heart attacks, strokes, and a shocking reduction in lifespan by up to 12 years in Delhi. A groundbreaking study is also highlighted, which for the first time establishes a direct link between PM2.5 pollutants and the rising incidence of arthritis in the city’s population. The experts critique partial measures like green crackers and question the lack of sustained political will to combat this public health emergency.
