A new five-year study reveals that the evening commute in Delhi delivers the ‘worst lung damage of the entire year’, surpassing even the winter smog season. The report highlights that evening commuters inhale about ‘40% more PM 2.5 and 23% more PM 10’ compared to morning travellers. The transcript notes that air pollution accounted for 15% of all deaths in Delhi last year. The speaker emphasizes that while masks and purifiers are ‘stopgap arrangements’, the real need is to cut vehicular emissions. The segment also offers practical solutions for car owners, advising the use of the air circulation button and HEPA 13 filters to block toxic fumes like nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide. The programme underscores the urgency of treating pollution as a health emergency.
