The air of Faridabad-Gurugram is becoming poisonous, AQI here has crossed 250.

Faridabad: The air condition in Faridabad and Gurugram has deteriorated again these days. The first thing you feel as soon as you leave home in the morning is a slight mist, dryness in the throat and heaviness in breathing. Be it college going students or office going people, everyone is troubled by this poisonous air. In Delhi-NCR, this changing season between winter and summer is considered notorious for pollution, but this time the effect is visible more.

The air of these places is poisonous

Air quality varies greatly in different sectors of Faridabad. AQI was recorded at 241 in Sector 16A, which falls in the very poor category. At the same time, the AQI of Sector 16, located at a short distance, has reached 290, which is directly counted in the serious category. It is common to experience eye irritation, headache and difficulty in breathing due to prolonged exposure to this level of air. People living here have started saying that even morning walk is now becoming difficult.

If we move towards Ballabhgarh, the AQI here has been recorded around 194. This level falls in the bad category, but compared to other areas the condition can be said to be slightly better. Still, this air is not considered completely safe for people who already have allergies or asthma.

The situation in Gurugram is also bad

Talking about Gurugram, the average AQI here is 214 which falls in the very poor category. In many places the air quality is even worse. AQI 238 has been recorded in Sector 65 and 227 in Sector 49. The level of PM2.5 in these areas is also a matter of concern, because fine particles reach the lungs directly and can cause serious diseases in the long run.

Doctors advised

People say that as soon as they step out on the road, they feel dust and the air feels heavy. Most of the people are going out wearing masks only. Doctors are also advising to avoid going out in the morning and evening because the air is more polluted at this time.

Caution is the only protection from this poisonous air

It is difficult to say when the air of NCR will improve, but it is certain that unless there is strict control on industries, vehicles and dust, people will continue to face similar problems every year. Right now, caution is the best way to protect yourself from this poisonous air.
