Air pollution in New Delhi has once again crossed critical levels. On Thursday (November 20), the AQI of the capital was recorded at 535, which directly falls in the dangerous category. This means that the air is so bad that it can have an immediate impact on health. The amount of dangerous particles like PM2.5 and PM10 is continuously increasing. PM 2.5 was 343 and PM10 reached 464. This situation is when GRAP-4 is already implemented in Delhi. Despite this, there is no improvement in the air.
Smog increased the problem in the morning and evening
The situation worsens most in the morning and evening in the capital and NCR. Due to low temperature and slow wind, the smoke gets stuck at the bottom and people start facing problems like heaviness, burning sensation in the eyes and difficulty in breathing.
Even traveling on the roads becomes difficult. In many areas people said that visibility was not clear even a few meters away. In such a situation, it is clear that at present there is no hope of improvement in the air.
drop in temperature
While on one hand the air has become poisonous, on the other hand the weather is also taking a turn. According to the Meteorological Department, there is a possibility of light to moderate fog on Thursday (November 20). Due to this, visibility may be reduced, which will further increase the problems of road users. Today the minimum temperature is expected to be around 11 degrees and the maximum is expected to be around 27 degrees.
On Wednesday, the minimum temperature of Delhi was recorded at 10.2 degrees Celsius. The maximum temperature was 28.3 degrees, which is slightly higher than normal.
Health challenges facing people increased
Doctors say that this type of air is extremely dangerous for children, elderly and pregnant women. It is better to wear a mask while going out, protect your eyes and stay indoors as much as possible. Although many steps have been taken by the government, at present there are no signs of improvement in the air.
