Believe it or not, but the smog can even affect your sex life.
Last year, fertility experts had said that Delhi's worst air quality of the season was a matter of serious concern, even for the city's healthy residents, as it could affect their sex drive and activity.
According to experts, air pollution can cause 30 per cent reduction in sex activity due to its adverse effects. After last year's Diwali, the national capital city witnessed the worst air quality in the past 17 years. While this year saw a ban on the sale of crackers in the capital, imposed by the government, the repercussions seemed to have hit the city hard enough anyways.
Almost 20 days after Diwali, a thick layer of smog has blanketed the Delhi NCR, with the air quality index hitting a very low 396 around 8am. So, how is this situation going to affect your sex life? The same way it did last year, of course.
"There are a lot of heavy metals in the air, which directly affect the hormones in the body. In India, 15 per cent of the male population is infertile, a rate greater than that of female," Sagarika Agarwal, fertility expert associated with city based Indira IVF Hospital, had said last year.
Delhi's air quality is also having a terrible affect on your sex life
