Delhi's pollution is entering the bloodstream and causing inflammation in the veins, slowly bringing the common man closer to death!

Delhi's toxic air is now negatively impacting not only the lungs but also mental health. According to experts, prolonged exposure to toxic air can have dangerous effects on the brain.

The rising Air Quality Index in Delhi-NCR has become a cause for serious concern. Delhi's toxic air is no longer limited to the lungs; its effects are also being felt on other parts of the body. According to reports, Delhi-NCR pollution can also cause autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. So, let's explain how Delhi-NCR's toxic air is affecting not only the lungs but also the brain and heart.

Delhi's toxic air, experts say, is that tiny particles like PM 2.5 present in polluted air enter the bloodstream and cause inflammation in the veins. This inflammation causes blood clots, which significantly increases the risk of a heart attack. Experts say that this pollution can prove even more dangerous for people who already have high blood pressure or clogged arteries. Experts also point out that reducing exposure to air, promoting clean air initiatives, and raising awareness about heart health are essential to protect the heart from the effects of pollution.

Impact on Brain and Mental Health:

Delhi's toxic air is now adversely affecting not only the lungs but also mental health. According to experts, prolonged exposure to toxic air can have dangerous effects on the brain. Pollution can cause neuroinflammation, which weakens neuroconnections, disrupting the balance of neurotransmitters, and increasing the risk of diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Experts say that toxic air increases oxidative stress, which impacts memory, attention, and decision-making. These conditions can be more severe in children, as their brains are developing during this time. Polluted air can also increase the risk of neurological disorders like autism spectrum disorder and ADHD.

The risk of depression and suicide is also increasing.

Experts say that people who have been living in areas with high levels of pollution for the last five years are experiencing increased symptoms of depression, suicidal thoughts, and a decline in quality of life. Experts say that children are particularly at risk because pollution has a direct impact on their developing brains. This increases the risk of depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and suicidal thoughts.
