With pollution levels higher than the city's average, it is likely that local sources of pollution are responsible for the worst AQI in Ashok Vihar, Anand Vihar, Bawana, Wazirpur, Jahangirpuri and Vivek Vihar, experts said.
Unsurprisingly, all the six spots are part of Delhi's 13 pollution hot spots' list, which also comprises Mundka, RK Puram, Rohini, Punjabi Bagh, Okhla, Narela, and Dwarka.
The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) and the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) had identified these 13 pollution hot spots in Delhi in 2018, based on the annual PM2.5 concentration of these locations being higher than Delhi's mean PM2.5.
Anand Vihar was the most polluted in the city across the last three days, with an average AQI of 431 during this period, HT's assessment of CPCB data showed.
