Which diseases risk increases when AQI increases?

Diseases associated with the lungs

When the AQI level crosses 200, the level of PM 2.5 particles in the air starts increasing. These contaminated particles of air can enter the lungs when breathing. This can cause the risk of lung infection and one may also have to face difficulty in breathing. If this condition continues for a long time, then the cases of diseases like asthma or bronchitis start increasing.

Eye problems

When the AQI level crosses 200, our eyes are the first to face irritation. Because eyes are the part of our body that is directly in contact with air. Therefore, the particles present in the air come in direct contact with the eyes. To protect your eyes from this serious condition, always wear glasses. Along with this, never forget to wash your eyes with cold water after going out of the house in air pollution.

Skin problems

If the AQI level is high, you may also have to face skin-related problems. Due to this, you may have complaints of skin irritation and itching, etc. Apart from this, the skin that faces the brunt of pollution for a long time starts to look old before time. Apart from this, problems like eczema, acne, and psoriasis can also occur due to air pollution.
