A new study reveals the alarming presence of microplastics in Delhi’s air, even in ostensibly clean areas like Lodhi Road, creating what experts call a ‘toxic cocktail’. The discussion highlights that this form of pollution, unlike seasonal smog, is a year-round threat that current air quality monitors do not even measure. Experts express grave concern, with one stating, "we are actually terrified, not scared." The potential health consequences are severe, including links to rising cancer rates among non-smokers, increased infertility, and endocrine system disruption. With microplastics originating from everyday items like clothing and packaging, the findings raise critical questions about public health, waste management, and the effectiveness of policies like the single-use plastic ban. #microplastics #delhiairpollution #publichealth #itwebvideos #plasticpollution #toxicair #healthalert #airquality #pollution #delhi #indiatoday #cancer #infertility #environment #cleanair #bansingleuseplastic
