Delhi Air Pollution: Health Emergency Declared

Post-Diwali, Delhi’s air quality remained “very poor” while improving significantly over the previous year. But that, experts said, wasn’t really a reason to cheer, with weather conditions greatly aiding the air quality, while systemic issues remain. As per the National Air Quality Index, which the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) maintains, the worst air quality index (AQI) was at 11 am on October 28 at 362. The day after, things worsened with the air quality hitting severe levels in Ghaziabad, Greater Noida, Panipat, and Noida, while Delhi was on the cusp with an AQI of 400 (401-500 is ‘severe’ level) and Ghaziabad with an AQI of 446 was veering dangerously towards the emergency or ‘very severe’ levels. Unfavorable meteorological conditions such as low wind speed and crop burning in nearby states are making the conditions worse leading to breathing problems and other health issues in many. Delhi based experts emphasized the need to take precautions, especially those who are susceptible to pulmonary ailments like asthma, bronchitis or those having eye-related problems.
