Delhi's air has become very bad, know what is the AQI recorded today

Delhi AQI Index: Even before the onset of winter, the level of air pollution in the country's capital Delhi has reached a very serious condition. It has become difficult for people to breathe in clean air, and according to health experts, this situation is extremely dangerous for children, the elderly and those who are already suffering from respiratory problems. On Wednesday morning, Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 356, which falls in the "very poor" category.

AQI status in different areas of Delhi

The air quality level in many parts of Delhi has entered the "severe" category from "very poor". Anand Vihar's AQI is 372, Ashok Vihar's 398, and Bawana's AQI is 414. The most dangerous situation is in Wazirpur, where AQI has reached 421. These figures show that the air level has become very bad in most places and it may worsen if action is not taken soon.

The air condition is also bad in the areas around Delhi. For example, the AQI of Noida is 268, which falls in the "poor" category. This makes it clear that the effect of pollution is increasing in Delhi as well as the surrounding areas.

Cause of pollution and its effects

The main causes of air pollution in Delhi are stubble burning in neighboring states in winter, smoke from vehicles, industrial emissions and construction activities. Apart from this, the wind speed slows down in winter, due to which the pollutants remain in the air and stay in the atmosphere.

Air pollution is affecting children and the elderly the most. The number of respiratory patients is also increasing. The micro particles (PM2.5 and PM10) present in polluted air go directly into the lungs and cause infections and other diseases. Doctors say that the risk of asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory diseases has increased due to increasing pollution.

Efforts to control the situation

The Delhi government has taken some steps to control pollution, such as sprinkling of water, ban on construction work, and odd-even scheme for vehicles. Apart from this, the government has also appealed to the neighboring states to stop stubble burning to reduce Delhi's pollution.

However, the effect of these steps is not yet fully visible. More concrete plans and actions are needed to improve air quality. Unless the measures to control pollution are strictly implemented, the people of Delhi may face health problems.

Conclusion

The increasing air pollution in Delhi has become a serious threat not only to the health of the residents of the capital but also to the entire environment. If immediate steps are not taken, the health crisis may deepen. At this time, the government, citizens and neighboring states need to make concrete efforts to control pollution so that the people of Delhi can breathe clean air and keep their lives safe.
