RWAs Advisory on Rising Air Pollution Levels in Delhi
Dear Residents,
With the recent increase in air pollution levels across Delhi, the EDRWAJF urges all residents to take the following precautionary and preventive measures to safeguard their health and contribute to cleaner air in our community.
1. Health & Safety Measures
-
Limit outdoor exposure, especially during early mornings and late evenings when pollution levels are typically higher.
-
Use N95/N99 masks when stepping outdoors.
-
Keep windows and doors closed during peak pollution hours.
-
Use air purifiers, if available, especially for children, elderly individuals, and those with respiratory conditions.
-
Increase indoor ventilation during times when AQI is better (usually afternoon hours).
2. Protecting Vulnerable Groups
-
Ensure that children, senior citizens, pregnant women, and asthma patients avoid prolonged outdoor activities.
-
Keep essential medications (inhalers, nebulizers) readily accessible.
3. Reducing Local Pollution
Residents are requested to actively help reduce emissions in and around the colony:
-
Avoid burning leaves, garbage, or any waste.
-
Encourage carpooling, use of public transport, bicycles, and walking for short distances.
-
Turn off vehicle engines at red lights to prevent idling.
-
Avoid using diesel generators; shift to backup alternatives wherever possible.
-
Support plantation drives and protect existing green cover in the colony.
4. Home & Community-Level Actions
-
Keep household dust levels low by regular wet mopping.
-
Maintain green balconies or indoor plants that improve air quality.
-
Participate in RWA-led awareness sessions and clean-air initiatives.
5. Reporting & Coordination
-
Report any instances of open burning, construction dust, or industrial emissions to the RWA office and local authorities.
-
The EDRWAJF will continue to coordinate with local municipal bodies to ensure:
-
Regular watering of parks and open areas
-
Dust control measures near construction sites
-
Timely waste collection and disposal
-
6. Stay Informed
-
Residents are advised to regularly check AQI updates from official sources.
-
The RWA will share alerts and updates through WhatsApp groups, notice boards, and email.
Your cooperation is essential in safeguarding the health of our community, with a request to Delhi Government & all the concerned Agencies to come forward to SAVE DELHI, SAVE DELHIITES. Residents are truly fed up of no action from your side. Let us work together for cleaner, & healthier air.
