Dr. LM Darlong, Head of Thoracic Oncosurgery, featured in Hindustan Times, highlighting how indoor air pollution can affect lung health and often-overlooked pollutants inside homes. Dr. Darlong identifies household dust, cooking fumes, incense sticks, mosquito coils, scented candles, cigarette smoke, air fresheners and mould as potential respiratory irritants, particularly for people with asthma or sensitive airways. He recommends better ventilation, using exhaust fans while cooking, cleaning AC filters, reducing smoke-producing products and addressing dampness, while advising people not to ignore recurring cough, wheezing, chest tightness or breathlessness at home
