Delhi is the most polluted city in India
Delhi has become India’s most polluted city, with an average PM 2.5 level recorded at 243.3 micrograms per cubic meter, with pollution rising 19.5 percent weekly. According to the ‘Air Quality Analysis’ report by ‘Respirar Living Sciences’, the last place on the list of cities in terms of air quality is 281. ‘Respirar Living Sciences’ analyzed PM2.5 levels in 281 cities in 3 to November 16. The main pollutant was PM 2.5. These are microscopic particles with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less. They are approximately the width of a human hair.
The Central Pollution Control Board says that these particles reach the lungs and enter the blood arteries. These particles pose serious health risks. This serious pollution reflects the combined effects of vehicle exhaust, industrial production and stubble burning. These conditions, combined with cold winter temperatures, prevent pollutants from rising far above the ground, according to the report. It claims that Delhi’s pollution is affecting the Gangetic plains and many northern states, including Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab. The level of air quality in these states has also reached dangerous levels.
