Air pollution can affect kidney health, know the prevention tips

So much pollution every year, when will we find a solution? Is it time to leave Delhi-NCR? Do the people living in Delhi need to find another place where they can go with their family to escape from 'Delhi which has become a gas chamber' and breathe clean air? Of course, these things may seem a bit hypothetical to you, but in the coming times, it seems that this will have to be done. The situation is worsening and it is affecting the health of everyone from adults to children. One or two members of every family are suffering from some or the other pollution-related disease.

Doctors have to increase the dosage. This is because PM 2.5 particles are reaching different parts of the body through the blood and are spoiling the biomarkers of even healthy people. Especially the problems of diabetes-hypertension and chronic kidney patients have increased a lot.
