AQI levels across major Indian cities are climbing faster than expected this season. People are waking up to hazy mornings, irritated eyes, and that heavy feeling in the chest that comes with poor air. Social media platforms are full of warnings and home-based solutions, and the topic is trending again.
प्रदूषित हवा अब रोज़मर्रा की समस्या बन चुकी है।
Why AQI Is Getting Worse This Year
Seasonal wind patterns, festival smoke, and increasing traffic jams have pushed AQI into dangerous zones. Many people assume that staying indoors keeps them safe, but polluted air seeps into homes much more easily than expected.
धूल के कण और धुआँ हवा में मिलकर उसे विषाक्त बना देते हैं।
What Makes Indoor Air More Harmful
In closed rooms, pollutants stay trapped for hours. PM2.5 and PM10 particles settle on furniture, curtains, and even bedding. Without ventilation, the air becomes stale and heavier.
बंद कमरे में हवा जल्दी खराब हो जाती है और शरीर पर सीधा प्रभाव डालती है।
