This year, worry about the respiratory system has hit an all-time high. Especially since, we are still in the grips of the Covid-19 pandemic. Air pollution has taken over as the number one health concern in Delhi, and the subject is not something that can be taken lightly, what with the AQI touching a thousand earlier this week.
The advent of the festivities in Delhi has brought with it a cloud of smoke. Here are some tips to avoid air pollution!
Wearing Masks
Wear a mask while stepping out of your house not only does it protect you from Coronavirus but it can (particularly N95 masks) prevent the bad air from entering your system.
Air Purifiers
During such severe environmental conditions, getting Air purifiers for your home and office is a great idea as it ensures your immediate environment is free from contaminants.
Purifying indoor plants
Planting specific plants such as Garden Mum, Spider plant, Dracaena and Peace lily in your home and office can be a great way to lift your mood and rid the air of toxins.
Using Public Transportation
Vehicular pollution is a huge factor in the rise of pollution, as witnessed by the low levels of pollution recorded during the lockdown, try to implement car-pools and use public transport as much as possible to reduce private vehicles on the road.
Conserve Energy
Remember to turn off lights, computers and electrical appliances when not in use as conserving energy lowers the amount of pollutants that get released into the air and water to keep the environment clean.
Using inverters for Power back ups
Diesel generators are very common during the power outages in the city, instead using inverters will be a better option for power back up to prevent carbon output.
We hope these tips help you in breathing a bit better than before and come out of this in the pink of health. Team Delhiites is concerned and always aims to suggest the best possible ways to help you out.
