Here is what the health experts say regarding the Air-pollution in Delhi
Experts in Delhi say that "This is a medical emergency as people are affected by short-term and long-term impacts of the pollution. You are immediately affected when the lungs are exposed to this air," Chairman of the Institute of Chest Surgery at Medanta Hospital, Dr Arvind Kumar told ANI on Wednesday. Dr. Kumar went on to say that when smoke enters the chest, it causes immediate acute inflammation in the windpipe and lungs, followed by these toxic chemicals being absorbed from the lungs and reaching the bloodstream. They then spread from head to toe, affecting every organ, he added. He also stated that the hospital reporting large numbers of people complaining about chest infections and pneumonia proves that pollution is at its peak. He went on to say that the most common symptoms of pollution are sore throats and eyes, burning in the eyes, red eyes, watering eyes, dry-itchy eyes, burning sensations in the nose, and a metallic taste on the lips. The chairman of Medanata also spoke about the long-term effects of pollution on a child's brain.
