Five million masks are being distributed throughout schools in Delhi, India, as the chief minister described the city as a “gas chamber” because of the “toxic” air quality.
“Delhi has turned into a gas chamber,” Kejriwal posted on Twitter. “It is very imp that we protect ourselves from this toxic air. Through pvt & govt schools, we have started distributing 50 lakh [5 million] masks today I urge all Delhiites to use them whenever needed.”It is very imp that we protect ourselves from this toxic air.
For the second year running, the Supreme Court imposed severe restrictions on the use of firecrackers during the five-day celebrations of Diwali, the Hindu festival of light, to combat the high levels of air pollution. The city has been “shrouded” in the toxic smog for four days in a row, according to reports in the local press.
Dr Arvind Kumar, a chest surgeon at a major hospital in the capital, told the Hindustan Times that air pollution was having a real impact on the health of Delhi’s residents.
