There has been an alarming rise in the pollution level in Delhi after Diwali. Bad air has once again increased concern. The weather has become cloudy due to the fireworks. At many places in Delhi, the PM 2.5 level exceeded the prescribed limit several times. At 6 am, the AQI level in Delhi’s Nehru Nagar, Patparganj, Ashok Vihar and Okhla was between 350 and 400.
According to the CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board), the Air Quality Index (AQI) level remained very low at several places in Delhi till 6 am.
AQI until 6 am in various places.
350 in Alipore, 396 in Anand Vihar, 384 in Ashok Vihar, 352 in Aya Nagar, 388 in Bawana, Chandni Chowk 336. Dilshad Garden 257, North Campus 390, Punjabi Bagh 391, Sonia Vihar 392, Aurobindo Marg 312, Najafgarh 329. The air quality index (AQI) was recorded at 375 at Narela, 288 at Jawaharlal Nehru, 340, Lodhi Road 352, Dwarka 349, Burari Crossing 394 and IGI Airport.
Let us tell you that the air in Delhi remains poisonous since Dussehra. AQI is still in the poor category. However, the situation has improved slightly in the last two days. But the fear of an AQI hike on Diwali came true. Firecrackers have once again worsened the air conditions in Delhi.
