Here’s what health experts have to say on twin tower demolition
1/5
Respiratory patients should avoid the area
Following the demolition of the Supertech twin towers in Noida, health experts advised people with respiratory conditions to stay away from the area. They advised adjacent residents to exercise extreme caution and, if at all possible, stay away from the area for a few days, especially if they have respiratory conditions.

The heavy use of explosives
A Supreme Court ruling that determined the towers' construction within the grounds of the Emerald Court society to be in breach of standards led to their demolition, which required the use of more than 3,700 kg of explosives. The towers were taller than Delhi's famous Qutub Minar-the tallest structures yet in India.
3/5
The pollution
An estimated 80,000 tonnes of construction and demolition trash were produced during the dismantling of these lofty buildings, along with massive dust clouds. The majority of dust particles, according to the doctors, are 5 microns or smaller and can float around in the atmosphere for a few days in the absence of favourable weather conditions like high winds and rain.

What health experts mandates
The influence zone should be determined through modelling. People who live nearby should keep an eye on the air quality and only venture outside in emergency conditions. For a few days, stay out of the sun. Regular sprinkles of water will be of great assistance.
