This special report unpacks the severe public health crisis in Delhi caused by escalating air pollution, featuring insights from Dr. Naresh Trehan, the Chairman and Managing Director of Medanta. ‘The first thing, there is a misconception that it only affects your lungs,’ Dr. Trehan states, explaining that toxic particles are absorbed into the blood and travel to every organ. The discussion highlights that pollution’s devastating effects are cumulative and irreversible, leading to a surge in patients with lung issues, heart attacks, and hypertension. Of particular concern is the impact on children, whose neurological systems are failing to develop properly. Dr. Trehan firmly advises against outdoor physical events like marathons in the toxic air, labelling the idea as ‘very, very bad’ and criticises the notion that one can adapt to such hazardous conditions, calling for collective action to address this ‘gas chamber’ environment.
