Respiratory cases surge as air quality worsens in Gurugram

Hindustan Times  

Civil Hospital in Sector 10 has recorded a significant increase in respiratory and lung-related illnesses, with around 100 new cases reported last week in contrast to an average of 60 weekly cases reported last month, according to health department data. A metro runs braves through smog-induced low visibility at Cyber City metro station near DLF Gateway Tower on Wednesday, when Gurugram air quality index dropped to “very poor” levels, logging a reading of 321. According to the daily bulletin of the Central Pollution Control Board, Gurugram logged a “very poor” air quality index of 321 on Wednesday, with PM2.5 and PM10 listed as the primary pollutants. “To ensure quicker care, we have started seeing patients with respiratory issues right away, directing them to specialists as soon as possible,” said Manish Rathee, medical superintendent of the Civil Hospital. “Wearing N95 masks, using air purifiers indoors, and avoiding strenuous outdoor activities can help reduce exposure to harmful pollutants.” Rathee emphasised that it’s crucial for children, the elderly, and those with lung conditions to take these precautions, stressing that “pollution is a serious health risk.”
