STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO HELP SHIELD YOUR CHILDREN FROM AIR POLLUTION

World Health Organisation recently conducted a survey
and concluded that Delhi is the most polluted city in the world.

Delhi air recorded an annual
average of 153 micrograms of
the most dangerous small
particulates, known as PM 2.5s,
per cubic metre. This should have made us sit up and take
notice. It didn't. Recent reports showed that
Beijing and Delhi were neck to
neck in air pollution levels and
an emergency-like situation was
declared in Beijing. Back in
India, we let that pass too. The Delhi Government offered ideas
on how to reduce vehicular
pollution and road congestion.
We debated about it on social
media, unconvinced. The headlines scream that air
pollution causes 30,000 deaths
in Delhi annually. We raise our eyebrows but remain largely
unaffected. It is but a mere drop
in the ocean, right? But last night was the sixth night
in a row that my daughter
couldn't sleep due to a racking cough triggered by air-borne allergies. She has not had a cough-free day for the past 2 months. A word with her class
teacher tells me that this is now
a common phenomenon with
children growing up in NCR. A
study stated that half of Delhi's
4.4 million schoolchildren would never recover full lung capacity.
Never recover full lung
capacity. Take a minute to think
about that. We must sit up and take notice
now.
