Air pollution is one of the fastest-growing health threats in India and worldwide, silently damaging our lungs every day. In this episode of Amrita Health Talk, expert doctors explain how polluted air affects lung health, increases respiratory diseases, and what practical steps you can take to protect yourself and your family.
Hosted by Dr. Aparna Chakravarty, Professor of Paediatric Infectious Disease, this episode features Dr. Arjun Khanna, Senior Consultant and Head of Pulmonary Medicine at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad. Together, they discuss how air pollution impacts both children and adults, leading to conditions such as asthma, COPD, bronchitis, and recurrent lung infections.
The experts explain how long-term exposure to polluted air can cause chronic and sometimes irreversible lung damage, often without early symptoms. The conversation also focuses on prevention and early care, including reducing outdoor exposure on high-pollution days, correct mask usage, improving indoor air quality, and seeking timely medical attention for breathing problems.
