Summary:
Jaipur: Being a state with the highest death rate attributable to pollution in the country, reporting 90,499 deaths attributable to air pollution in 2017 and losing 2.5 years of life expectancy due to air pollution, Rajasthan has to press the health alarm button, say health experts. If a person has a known case of asthma, he/she should take inhaler or medicines regularly to avoid asthma attack. Unchecked air pollution, industrialisation, increasing number of vehicles and rampant mining have brought Rajasthan to a spot where health becomes a major concern.“Deaths attributable to air pollution is not like heart attack. Air purifying plants such as aloe vera, ivy and spider plant can be placed at home and offices as they help purify indoor air and minimise indoor pollution. No sudden death occurs due to air pollution..
