This is why hospitals in the area had been alerted prior to the demolitions. Noida is among the most polluted cities of country and the world. These hospitals are Jaypee Hospital, Felix Hospital, and Government Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS) in Noida, according to India TV.

There might be other toxic pollutants as well," said Dr Pratima Singh of Centre for the Study of Science, Technology and Policy to Moneycontrol. The Noida twin towers were demolished around 2:30 pm on Sunday, producing a large cloud of dust that enveloped the entire area and took several minutes to clear.
