| Wednesday | 25th September, 2019

New Delhi, September 24Staying indoors to avoid toxic outdoor air in the Capital may not serve the purpose anymore as pollutants have now entered homes. A new study has revealed that air inside homes in Delhi have become unsafe with high levels of pollutants found in it, despite keeping doors shut. “Houses in the city have very polluted air infested with large concentrations of PM 2.5, carbon dioxide and harmful gases, with long-term health implications,” said a study conducted by BreatheEasy Consultants with real-time monitoring of air quality inside more than 400 homes in Delhi-NCR spread across 200 large and small residential colonies. “The level of carbon dioxide inside many homes was found to be as high as 3,900 parts per million (ppm) against the recommended safe limit of 750 ppm,” the study said.
