I woke up this morning to the air purifiers whirring away busily. Which is very unusual. Our home is almost air tight now. Overnight the purifiers bring the PM2.5 down to under 30. But today the purifiers are scrubbing air that's 100+. Signs that the airpocalypse had arrived outside.

(All three CPCB meters in Gurgaon are broken this morning. Coincidence?)

Nidhi BansalNot that running away is a solution. But why not think of a long term solution where you can move out of Delhi-NCR for good. Hide

Bayiravi ManiIf moving is an option, take it. It was affecting my son for 2.5 yrs and we had to leave. Hearing that deep smokers cough every minute 24/7 and being on the nebuliser 5 times a day for months was the worst Hide

Shantanu MundhadaSaurabh J, I am not too familiar with the conditions in NCR. I got to know now that you need to live in an airtight space to protect against the pollution outside. Children may have respiratory issues and antibiotics will screw their immune systems. Low or no access to sunlight will have its own impact. Not to speak of, the psychological impact of living in restricted place. Do you really need more reasons to move out of such a place for good?? Hide
Gauri DO jeez! Take care of your lungs while you are looking after the family. Hide
