CHENNAI witnessed cleaner air during this year's Bhogi festivities compared to previous years, according to data from the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB). Officials attributed the development to enhanced awareness and increased public cooperation leading to the 'relatively' smokeless celebrations this year.
On Bhogi day, air quality index (AQI) in Chennai ranged from 92 to 177, classified as "Satisfactory" to "Moderate". The PM2.5 levels averaged between 52 and 111 µg/m³, while PM10 concentrations ranged from 118 to 289 µg/m³, still exceeding standards but showing improvement compared to last year's peaks.
