For asthma patients, the smoke of firecrackers is a suffocating poison
The festival of Diwali is the festival of lights, on this day people burst a lot of firecrackers. But this time there is so much pollution in Delhi and surrounding areas. It has increased that burning of firecrackers can increase pollution, it has increased that people are having trouble breathing, and the smoke from these firecrackers can further worsen health. The smoke from firecrackers causes serious harm not only to the environment but also to our health. This can be even more dangerous, especially for people suffering from asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory problems.
Health experts say, the level of pollution has already increased significantly these days in Delhi-NCR and many other neighboring states. In such a situation, there may be a danger of air pollution increasing again like in the last few years due to firecrackers. This kind of environment can be quite problematic for people who already suffer from respiratory problems like asthma or COPD. It is important for such people to continue taking special precautions.
Even your slightest carelessness can trigger these problems.
What do health experts say?
Speaking to Amar Ujala, respiratory disease specialist Dr. Abhijat Sahay says, increase in the level of air pollution can worsen the condition of asthma patients, which is why it is important for asthma patients to be especially careful during Diwali. Firecrackers emit many harmful air pollutants including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and small particles, all of which can enter the body through the respiratory system and cause breathing difficulties and asthma attacks.

Increasing pollution can cause respiratory problems to asthma patients at any time. In such a situation, always keep an inhaler with you to save life (emergency). Use it regularly.
stay away from polluted places
You and I who have asthma problems cannot stop anyone from bursting crackers during Diwali. There will be a dispute on stopping it, that's a different matter. In such a situation, try to stay away from polluted places. These days you can go to the village, because the pollution in the village is less than that of the city.
