People sharing AQI details in Delhi. #AQI high as 1747. PM2.5 at 952 in Delhi. These are not meaningless numbers.
PM 2.5 are particles so small they skip your nose and throat, go straight into your lungs, and enter your blood. PM 2.5 at 952 is 63 times the WHO limit. At this level it raises blood pressure, triggers heart attacks and strokes, and permanently damages developing lungs.
Children breathe faster and have narrower airways. This air is stopping their lungs from growing properly. Pregnant women are sending these particles straight to the placenta. Elderly and anyone with heart or lung issues are at immediate risk.
Stay indoors. If you must step out, only a tightly fitted certified N95/KN95 works. Surgical masks, cloth masks, and masks with valves are useless against this.
Your child is playing outside in this. Decide how much you actually care.
I hate India,
Indians are dumb, irrational, illogical, mentally bankrupt.
No doubt why every other country hate us.
With 2000 AQI, Indians are bursting crackers.
We Indians don't respect others life.
Shit mind, Shit people, Shit society.

living in delhi watching people choke on 1000+ aqi just to defend "tradition" is so tragic. i genuinely feel bad for how dumb u have to be to poison your own lungs and kids for validation.
I’m convinced, one has to inherently be a bad person to be bursting firecrackers in India during winter - cancerous gases and pollutants that harm everyone, scare animals, make asthmatics literally breathless, and cause long term irrevocable damage to health, just to see some lights and sounds in the air.
