      \n
    1. For elderly, diabetics, Immune compromised patients or those with COPD\/Asthma, air purifiers might be helpful.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. These people and whom so ever is vulnerable are advised to get pneumonia vaccine.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Flu vaccine is recommended yearly as it also gives protection against H1N1 influenza and some strains of seasonal flu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. Fruits, especially citrus fruits like oranges can be beneficial as they contain antioxidants that boost immunity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Take precautions and dodge ill effects of smog with ease.<\/p>\n
