    ‘Poor AQI concern for citizens and administration in equal measure’

    Why has Mumbai been reporting bad air quality?
    Climate change is all around us, it has advanced from the proverbial stage of ‘Climate Change is knocking on our door’.
    As regards impacts on health, I can tell you what doctors have said: that bad air quality impacts and compromises the capacity and overall health of your lungs leading to respiratory illnesses, affecting new-born babies, adults and senior citizens in many ways, while impacting other organs too such as kidneys.
    Are citizens, and administration, collectively doing enough?
    We need a coordinated effort from all departments, such as RTO, transport, garden, and waste management, more than 40 departments need to come together and work dedicatedly to manage this, including awareness programmes.
