Karnataka Cities Face Unhealthy Air Quality

Many cities in Karnataka, like Bengaluru, Mangaluru, and Ballari, have very bad air quality.

The air quality index (AQI) in these cities is in the 'unhealthy' range, which means it can make people sick.

Experts say breathing this bad air for a long time can cause serious health problems like lung cancer, asthma, and heart disease.

They advise people, especially children, older adults, and those with breathing problems, to be careful.

Doctors suggest wearing masks outside, using cars less, and avoiding exercise when pollution is high.

They also say we need more trees and green spaces to improve the air quality.
