How AQI Is Affecting People With Cardiovascular Diseases?

Extremely poor pollution conditions, as seen in Delhi, carry health risks that are as hazardous as smoking ten cigarettes per day

The article from News18 discusses how air quality, measured by the Air Quality Index (AQI), significantly impacts individuals with cardiovascular diseases. Poor air quality, particularly high levels of pollutants like PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and SO2, can exacerbate heart conditions by increasing inflammation, promoting blood clotting, and potentially leading to heart attacks or strokes. The article highlights that people with pre-existing heart conditions are at a higher risk during times of poor air quality, as these pollutants can enter the bloodstream through the lungs, affecting heart rate, blood pressure, and overall cardiovascular function. It also mentions that even short-term exposure to polluted air can trigger acute cardiovascular events, while long-term exposure might contribute to chronic heart disease. Recommendations include monitoring AQI levels, reducing outdoor activities when pollution is high, using air purifiers, and wearing masks to mitigate risks.
