The air level of Delhi fails every year after Diwali. This year, something similar also struck. In many locations, the AQI is above 600.
The pollution level in Delhi has set a new record after Diwali. Due to fireworks, the Air Quality Index (AQI) reached 600 in many parts of the city, which can be extremely harmful for health. Every year after Diwali, the situation in Delhi evolves seriously like this.
The AQI level in Delhi
The Ministry of Environment’s data shows that the AQI is at extremely high levels in a number of Delhi areas. The level of dust and dangerous gases in the city’s air rose fast as people lit firecrackers at night. The AQI has surpassed 600, in particular places like Rohini, Anand Vihar, and Punjabi Bagh. This can worsen respiratory conditions and other health issues in addition to being harmful to health.
Experts claim that because there were more fireworks last year than there were this year, the pollution level rose unfairly. The Delhi government and the environment department had already urged people to refrain from using firecrackers before Diwali, but their message had little effect on people.
Pollution precautions have to be done
People who came to Local18 said that fog and cold shocks are also contributing to the pollution issue, in spite of fireworks. For the past few days, the temperature has been falling, which has caused the air pollution to persist. It has been deemed a severe health hazard by the Delhi government. Some experts say the government had to act right away to promote public transportation and control the use of raw energy.
People need to be careful
Everyone must play their part by staying away from smoking and other harmful activities, but people must also be aware of their duty and alert to reduce this serious level of pollution. For it to control this situation, each department involved must collaborate, allowing Delhi to once again experience a clean and healthy environment.
