The air quality in Delhi remained 'very poor' as the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR) calculated its quality index as 342 today.
An Air Quality Index (AQI) between zero and 50 is considered "good"; 51 and 100 "satisfactory"; 101 and 200 "moderate"; 201 and 300 "poor"; 301 and 400 "very poor"; and 401 and 500 "severe".
The AQI for the day has been marginally lower than the recorded AQI level of 350 on Sunday. In the area near Delhi University, the AQI has been recorded 372 under the 'very poor' category. Meanwhile, the SAFAR recorded it 'very poor' at 362 in the Lodhi Road area.
Meanwhile, the Pusa area was also under the 'very poor' category with an AQI level of 340.
The AQI at Mathura Road, IGI Airport Terminal 3, and IIT Delhi also felt 'very poor' quality of air with the levels at 358, 336, and 322.
Notably, the Air Quality level in Delhi was in the 'very poor' category on Sunday as well.
The air quality has been deteriorating in the national capital before Diwali, but it increased further as people burnt firecrackers here and because of the stubble burning in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan in the winter, its fumes and pollutants move across cities.
Stubble burning had turned worse across Punjab, giving no hope of improvement in Delhi's AQI as the capital gasps for clean air.
