Delhi-NCR faces toxic air quality for next three days
According to WION, Delhi's air quality has worsened, remaining in the 'very poor' category. The Central Pollution Control Board reported an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 391 on Friday morning, indicating severe pollution in various areas.
Many locations in Delhi, including IIT Delhi and Rohini, are experiencing 'severe' pollution levels. The Central government's Air Quality Early Warning System predicts that this poor air quality will persist for three days, primarily due to factors like low wind speeds and pollution from stubble burning.
This situation highlights the ongoing air quality issues in Delhi-NCR, which can affect everyone, especially those with pre-existing health conditions. Residents should be aware of the risks associated with poor air quality and take necessary precautions.
What to do
- Limit outdoor activities, especially during peak pollution hours.
- Use air purifiers indoors to improve air quality.
- Wear masks designed for pollution when going outside.
- Stay informed about air quality updates through reliable sources.
- Consider using public transport to reduce vehicular emissions.
