In or out, every breath you take is poison: Fireworks turn Delhi homes into toxic chambers
A Delhi Technological University study revealed that indoor air quality plummets during Diwali, with ultrafine particles from fireworks, cooking, and rituals becoming significantly more concentrated than outdoor pollution. These microscopic particles, exceeding PM2.5 by 25 times, penetrate deep into the body, posing serious long-term respiratory and cardiac health risks, especially for vulnerable populations.
