A Diwali wake-up call.

Last year, festive lights were accompanied by a toxic haze: Delhi’s AQI hit 806 at midnight, and millions across North India struggled to breathe. Children and the elderly were hardest affected.

Winter traps these pollutants, prolonging exposure and harming health. This Diwali, let’s celebrate with light, not smoke. Commit to eco-friendly celebrations and protect the lungs of everyone around you.

Don't step out this Diwali without knowing THIS. 🚨

Most people think firecracker smoke only damages your lungs—but the truth is far more alarming.

The toxic fumes pe*****te deep into your bloodstream, affecting your heart, kidneys, brain, and immune system. Research links firecracker exposure to heart attacks, stroke, Alzheimer's, dementia, and even Type 2 diabetes.

You can't control what others do—but you CAN protect yourself and your loved ones.

14th October 2025: The Lung Care Foundation team had the privilege of meeting Mr. Shankar Lalwani, Member of Parliament, Indore. Our conversations were grounded in shared urgency: the fight against air pollution and its profound impact on lung health.

We explored local action with the Indore district administration under Forum For Clean Air, Indore, DFCA, focusing on clean air, climate initiatives, and sustainable practices. The discussion highlighted the critical need for leadership at the city level to tackle pollution and the health consequences of fossil fuels.

We also shared LCF’s asthma training manuals, designed to raise awareness and make schools safer for children living with asthma. Mr. Lalwani appreciated the importance of educating communities and empowering young citizens to breathe easier.

Finally, we discussed research collaborations on pollution and lung health and how effective dissemination of these findings can drive evidence-based interventions.

Together, we are shaping a path toward cleaner air, healthier lungs, and a more sustainable future. Lung Care Foundation is committed to working hand-in-hand with leaders, educators, and researchers to turn these plans into action.

You’ve never smoked... but you still could get lung cancer.
1 in 4 lung cancer cases happens in non-smokers.

And the culprit? The air we breathe- at home, outside, everywhere.

Air pollution is silently damaging our lungs… causing genetic changes even in healthy, non-smoking people.

🫁 Clean air is not a luxury. It’s a right.
This is about survival — and justice.

You’re not just breathing dust; you’re breathing microplastics!

Every day, you could be inhaling tiny fragments that can accumulate to form a ball the size of a pea. In Delhi, burning garbage adds to 10% of total air pollution, releasing thousands of plastic particles per square meter daily. These tiny toxins travel through your lungs and gut — linked to asthma, low immunity, and gut imbalance.

Here’s how you can protect yourself:
👉 Avoid single-use plastics
👉 Wear natural fabrics like cotton
👉 Keep your home well-ventilated
👉 Say NO to garbage burning

Every small action adds up — for your lungs, your health, and our planet. 💙

We are deeply inspired by Mrs. Amaninder Kaur Brar, ADC Jalandhar, whose heartfelt participation in our shared dialogue with the Jalandhar Administration, DAV University, and UNEP brought leadership, empathy, and purpose together.

Mrs. Brar shared childhood lessons from her father that shaped her lifelong commitment to social good and environmental protection. Her message was clear: leadership begins with compassion for the air we all share.

Together, we continue our journey toward “Saanjhi Hawa te Sehat”
