You can’t always see it. You can’t always smell it. But every breath you take in our cities carries a hidden risk — air pollution.

From traffic fumes and factory smoke to dust and burning waste, the air around us is often laced with invisible particles that slowly harm our bodies.

What’s in Polluted Air?

Air pollution isn’t just “dirty air.” It contains:

• PM2.5 and PM10 particles — tiny dust that enters lungs and bloodstream
• Nitrogen dioxide & sulfur dioxide — from vehicles and industries
• Ozone — formed at ground level, irritating for lungs
• Carbon monoxide — reducing oxygen supply in the body

How Air Pollution Impacts Your Health

Breathing polluted air is like smoking multiple cigarettes a day. Over time, it can cause:

• Respiratory issues: asthma, chronic cough, COPD
• Heart problems: high BP, heart attacks, strokes
• Brain effects: headaches, anxiety, reduced concentration
• Metabolic disorders: worsening of diabetes, thyroid issues, and obesity
• Reproductive health risks: linked to infertility and PCOS

Children, pregnant women, and the elderly are the most vulnerable.

What You Can Do to Protect Yourself

We can’t control the air outside completely, but we can take steps:

• Wear a mask during high pollution days.
• Use indoor air purifiers at home.
• Keep indoor plants like aloe vera and snake plant.
• Check AQI (Air Quality Index) before outdoor workouts.
• Support clean energy and green initiatives.

When to See a Doctor

If you have:

• Persistent cough or breathlessness
• Wheezing or chest tightness
• Worsening of asthma or allergies
• Unexplained fatigue or headaches

👉 It’s time to consult a physician. Pollution-related health risks should never be ignored.
