The modern society has its own disadvantages. The metro cities, on one side generate too much employment then on another side, also generate natural hazards. With concentration of gases and its mixure with other pollution-driven elements; the whole Delhi-NCR area had been affected with smog. The Government is making efforts to get rid of this new problem. The medical practitioners are not recommending to have morning or evening walk in days of smog and bad weather. In such scenario, what to do and what not to do; is also a new concern for every Indian. Let's know more about it. 

What comprises in Smog?

When a person exposes himself in smog then the ozone gas passed into his lungs and an irritation starts in repository system usually affects throat and chest. The patients of Asthma suffer most from the smog and face asthama attacks during these days. More exposure to smog can even damage the lungs, therefore it is must not to take deep breaths in the environment affected with smog. 

Controlling Pollution in Delhi

The Delhi Government became alert after the increase in smog and bad weather. In order to curb the vehicular pollution, the vehicles older than 10 to 15 years and based on diesel engines are being traced, located, and then seized by the Government. The transport department notified the scrapping guidelines in September 2018 and the MSTC Limited is provided the task of scrapping the vehicles.

Precautions and Tips

1. Life-style Management in accordance with Air Quality Index : 

The AQI levels which are generally communicated in weather report, can be used to be more cautious.
