Let us tell you that despite the initial relief due to rain, an increase in pollution levels was seen again in Delhi on Monday. Smoke hung over the city and according to Swiss air quality monitoring company IQAir, Delhi was the most polluted city globally that day. Pollution increased after Diwali celebrations, with residents violating the ban on firecrackers.
On Sunday, Diwali, Delhi’s AQI recorded its best level in eight years, with its 24-hour average at 218 at 4 pm. But the respite was short-lived as pollution levels increased sharply amid low temperatures due to bursting of firecrackers late Sunday night. On Monday, the AQI rose to 358 by 4 pm, indicating ‘very poor’ air quality. In particular, the concentration of PM 2.5, a fine particle that causes respiratory problems, is six to seven times higher than the safe limit in some areas.
