This was one of the many findings which drew city-based pediatricians to hold their first-ever meeting on how respiratory problems in children can be controlled. In the last six months, I have attended to 450 cases and a large number are being reported from Marathahalli, Ring Road areas, Horamavu and Kalyan Nagar. So we are assessing how there has been an increase, what the government should do and how the topic of air pollution needs to be addressed,” he said. It has been observed that when people travel to colder places, their respiratory problems have shown an improvement. To address the air pollution problem and its impact on children, monitoring devices are also being installed in schools along the ring roads..
