Delhi's High Air Quality Index: Delhi’s persistently high Air Quality Index (AQI) is a growing concern that demands urgent attention. Poor air quality highlights the critical need to focus on the air we breathe. Don’t you think the deteriorating AQI levels, caused by vehicle emissions, industrial pollution, Diwali firecracker burning, and seasonal stubble burning, are spreading like a silent disease? This issue is severely affecting respiratory health, increasing the risk of allergies, asthma, breathing problems, lung infections, and other long-term health complications.

While outdoor air quality is beyond your control, you can take simple and effective steps to reduce indoor air pollution and protect your health. Here are some easy ways to improve the quality of the air you breathe indoors:

Keep Your Home Clean

It’s crucial to maintain a neat and clean home, especially when outdoor air quality is hazardous. Regular dusting and thorough cleaning can prevent dust allergies and reduce indoor pollutants.

Use A Good Air Purifier

Invest in a reliable air purifier to remove dust, toxic chemicals, contaminants, and allergens from the air. A quality purifier significantly improves indoor air quality and promotes healthier breathing.

Ensure Proper Ventilation

Good ventilation is essential for circulating fresh air and reducing suffocation, especially during early mornings and evenings. Keep your windows open during these times to let fresh air in.

Add Indoor Plants

Indoor plants not only enhance aesthetics but also help purify the air and provide positive energy. Consider adding plants like spider plants, snake plants, peace lilies, and areca palms to your home for a natural air-purifying effect.
