Delhi Air Pollution 2025: Study Reveals Farm Fires Choke Lungs, Vehicles Poison Blood as Smog Crisis Deepens
Delhi’s annual smog season is back — and it’s worse than ever. But this time, new research sheds light on what exactly makes the capital’s air so deadly. A recent study published in the Times of India has revealed that while farm fires are responsible for making the air thick with particulate matter, it’s vehicular emissions that introduce the most toxic pollutants into residents’ lungs and bloodstream. “Farm fires fill the skies, but cars fill our blood with poison,” said Dr. Anumita Roy, senior researcher at the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE). “The danger is not just what you see — it’s what you can’t.”
