Jodhpur's Air: A 'Slow Poison' Fueling Asthma, Respiratory Diseases; Doctor Warns

• Jodhpur faces severe air pollution from uncontrolled construction, street dust, and open garbage burning, impacting public health.
• Dr. C.R. Chaudhary highlights high dust particles in Rajasthan's air, causing severe respiratory issues and a high death rate despite fewer reported cases.
• Cough medicines and inhalers are becoming ineffective for many patients due to persistent dust particles causing inflammation and obstruction.
• Negligence like open garbage burning exacerbates pollution, creating toxic smoke that acts as a 'silent killer' for respiratory patients.
• Solutions include cleanliness, public awareness, administrative measures (road sprinkling, construction tarpaulins), and individual actions (masks, greenery).
