Air Pollution in Delhi and NCR is going out of control with each passing day. Pollution from the firecrackers on Diwali has intensified the smog. The presence of harmful gasses like Nitrogen Oxides, Sulphur Dioxide, carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide, and ground-level ozone is making a poisonous mix that can cause serious health issues.
Children’s lungs are not fully developed until their late teens and they breathe more air per kilo of body weight, therefore they are the ones who get most affected by air pollution.
School going students need to take extra precautions in order to avoid problems like uneasy breathing, nausea, headache, cold and cough, chest pain and more. So, it is better to take some protective measures before the smog affects your health and fitness.
Tips to protect yourself from the harmful air pollution:
And of course, ask your parents to buy high-quality breathing masks. It is one thing that can surely help breathe clean as it purifies the polluted air to a great extent.
When buying a mask, look for either N95 or N99 rating. Also, make sure that the mask fits you perfectly and there are no gaps to let outside air in. If there’s a gap, it will negate the effect of wearing a mask.
We hope that these remedies will help you in the fight against air pollution. If you have some more tips that can help combat this problem, do share with us in the comment section.
