Pollution is suffocating, eyes are burning; keep your children safe with these 4 tips in this deadly pollution
- Limit outdoor exposure
Avoid sending children outside during early mornings and evenings when pollution levels peak. Postpone outdoor games and school activities as much as possible on high-AQI days. - Protect eyes and airways
If children must go out, make them wear a good-quality mask and protective glasses. This reduces inhalation of harmful particles and prevents eye irritation, redness, and burning. - Keep indoor air clean
Keep doors and windows closed during peak pollution hours. Use an air purifier if available, or place indoor plants like areca palm and snake plant to help improve air quality naturally. - Boost immunity with diet and hydration
Give children plenty of water, seasonal fruits, vegetables, and vitamin C–rich foods (like oranges, amla). A strong immune system helps their body fight pollution-related infections.
👉 Tip for parents: If your child shows signs like persistent coughing, eye pain, wheezing, or breathlessness, consult a doctor immediately. Pollution-related symptoms should never be ignored.
