&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Air quality in the city is deteriorating every day as agricultural waste burning continues unabated in Punjab and Haryana. Doctors, too, are seeing a jump in cases of acute bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and asthma. They are advising those who are vulnerable or already suffering from respiratory disorders to avoid going out during peak traffic hours, keeping inhalers handy and, if smog is severe, recommending a few weeks stay outside Delhi.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The PM2.5 (fine respirable particles) levels have increased from 180 microgram per cubic metre on November 4 to about 205 microgram per cubic metre on November 9, about 3.5 times the safe standard of 60 microgram per cubic metre. PM10 (coarse particles) increased from 289 microgram per cubic metre to 315 on Sunday. At 6.45pm, the PM2.5 level at Mandir Marg was 303 microgram per cubic metre, five times the standard and at RK Puram it was 343 microgram per cubic metre, almost six times the standard.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
According to IGI airport&#039;s met department, smog formed and reduced visibility on November 8 midnight to late morning of November 9. For about eight hours, the visibility remained at 400 to 500 metres. More smog is expected in the next few days.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Meanwhile, doctors are seeing a sudden jump in complaints of acute respiratory conditions and associated complications. Dr Randeep Guleria, professor and head of pulmonary medicine at AIIMS, said, &amp;quot;Due to the PM2.5 level being very high, there is a 10-15% increase in complaints of asthma and COPD. We are suggesting that those who are vulnerable should keep relief medication and inhalers. They should avoid travel during peak hours and around mid-day.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The link between lung cancer and air pollution is not directly established, but Guleria said some studies do link lung cancer. His department is planning to conduct a study linking hospital admissions with air pollution in Delhi.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The air pollution levels on Monday for PM2.5 and PM10 is likely to be 215 microgram per cubic metre and 350 microgram per cubic metre, respectively, according to a forecast by SAFAR, IITM.

PM10 (coarse particles) increased from 289 microgram per cubic metre to 315 on Sunday. At 6.45pm, the PM2.5 level at Mandir Marg was 303 microgram per cubic metre, five times the standard and at RK Puram it was 343 microgram per cubic metre, almost six times the standard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;According to IGI airport&#039;s met department, smog formed and reduced visibility on November 8 midnight to late morning of November 9.

Dr Randeep Guleria, professor and head of pulmonary medicine at AIIMS, said, &amp;quot;Due to the PM2.5 level being very high, there is a 10-15% increase in complaints of asthma and COPD.

The PM2.5 (fine respirable particles) levels have increased from 180 microgram per cubic metre on November 4 to about 205 microgram per cubic metre on November 9, about 3.5 times the safe standard of 60 microgram per cubic metre. PM10 (coarse particles) increased from 289 microgram per cubic metre to 315 on Sunday. At 6.45pm, the PM2.5 level at Mandir Marg was 303 microgram per cubic metre, five times the standard and at RK Puram it was 343 microgram per cubic metre, almost six times the standard.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
According to IGI airport&#039;s met department, smog formed and reduced visibility on November 8 midnight to late morning of November 9. For about eight hours, the visibility remained at 400 to 500 metres. More smog is expected in the next few days.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Meanwhile, doctors are seeing a sudden jump in complaints of acute respiratory conditions and associated complications. Dr Randeep Guleria, professor and head of pulmonary medicine at AIIMS, said, &amp;quot;Due to the PM2.5 level being very high, there is a 10-15% increase in complaints of asthma and COPD. We are suggesting that those who are vulnerable should keep relief medication and inhalers. They should avoid travel during peak hours and around mid-day.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The link between lung cancer and air pollution is not directly established, but Guleria said some studies do link lung cancer. His department is planning to conduct a study linking hospital admissions with air pollution in Delhi.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The air pollution levels on Monday for PM2.5 and PM10 is likely to be 215 microgram per cubic metre and 350 microgram per cubic metre, respectively, according to a forecast by SAFAR, IITM.

Smog scare: Patients told to stay indoors

-The Times of India NEW DELHI: Air quality in the city is deteriorating every day as agricultural waste burning continues unabated in Punjab and Haryana. Doctors, too, are seeing a jump in cases of acute bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and asthma. They are advising those who are vulnerable or already suffering from respiratory disorders to avoid going out during peak traffic hours, keeping inhalers handy and, if smog is severe, recommending a few weeks stay outside Delhi. The PM2.5 (fine respirable particles) levels have increased from 180 microgram per cubic metre on November 4 to about 205 microgram per cubic metre on November 9, about 3.5 times the safe standard of 60 microgram per cubic metre. PM10 (coarse particles) increased from 289 microgram per cubic metre to 315 on Sunday. At 6.45pm, the PM2.5 level at Mandir Marg was 303 microgram per cubic metre, five times the standard and at RK Puram it was 343 microgram per cubic metre, almost six times the standard. According to IGI airport's met department, smog formed and reduced visibility on November 8 midnight to late morning of November 9. For about eight hours, the visibility remained at 400 to 500 metres. More smog is expected in the next few days. Meanwhile, doctors are seeing a sudden jump in complaints of acute respiratory conditions and associated complications. Dr Randeep Guleria, professor and head of pulmonary medicine at AIIMS, said, "Due to the PM2.5 level being very high, there is a 10-15% increase in complaints of asthma and COPD. We are suggesting that those who are vulnerable should keep relief medication and inhalers. They should avoid travel during peak hours and around mid-day." The link between lung cancer and air pollution is not directly established, but Guleria said some studies do link lung cancer. His department is planning to conduct a study linking hospital admissions with air pollution in Delhi. The air pollution levels on Monday for PM2.5 and PM10 is likely to be 215 microgram per cubic metre and 350 microgram per cubic metre, respectively, according to a forecast by SAFAR, IITM.
