As air pollution breached severe levels in the national capital, top doctors in Delhi are advising that we keep our children indoors. Any outdoor activity is dangerous, they say.
In collaboration with #MyRightToBreathe, an advisory has been put together by top doctors in Delhi NCR that says it’s time we treated air pollution as a national emergency.
Running a marathon in these conditions can deposit approximately 2 tablespoons of toxic ash in your lungs.
IMAGINE THE DAMAGE.
Follow daily local air quality alerts, which will guide people in a form that everyone understands what activities to restrict.
Smoking cessation is an individual responsibility, providing clean cooking gas is the government’s responsibility
We need to focus on air pollution as a collective solution
