Air quality usually stays in the moderate range for safe conditions. However, the recent spike pushed pollution to worrying levels. Officials advised residents to remain cautious.

Experts say several factors caused the sudden rise in Hyderabad air quality concerns. Continuous construction activity in the city produces large amounts of dust. In addition, heavy vehicular traffic releases harmful emissions.

Another major factor is the burning of waste in suburban areas. Such activities release dangerous particles into the air. These include nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter known as PM2.5.

Pollution Control Board data shows that pollution often increases during early morning and late night hours. During these periods, air circulation becomes weaker. As a result, pollutants remain trapped near the ground.

Doctors advised residents to take preventive measures during this period. People with respiratory problems should avoid prolonged outdoor exposure. Elderly people and children must remain especially careful.

Medical experts also recommended wearing masks while stepping outside. Residents should limit outdoor activities whenever possible. Drinking enough water and staying indoors can also help reduce health risks.
