This month of November is going to be very difficult for the people of Delhi. If you woke up on Saturday morning (November 29) expecting a nice breeze, you might have been a little disappointed. For the 15th consecutive day, the air in the capital is stuck in the ‘Very Poor’ category. That means there are less chances of getting relief right now.

Situation on Saturday morning: Some relief, but trouble continues

If we look at the data of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the average AQI of Delhi at 7 am on Saturday morning was 338 were recorded. Yes, it is a little better than Friday (which was 385), but not so much that you can move around without a mask. The average AQI throughout the day on Friday was 369. Experts say this “toxic phase” may continue next week also.

Therefore, avoid morning walks if not necessary, especially the elders and children of the house.

How polluted is your area?

Some areas in entire Delhi are exactly like ‘gas chambers’. If you live near these places, be extra careful:

  • Worst case scenario: It is difficult to breathe in Anand Vihar (354), Bawana (364), Rohini (364), Dwarka Sector-8 (368) and Punjabi Bagh (355).
  • Slightly better (but worse): The situation at IGI Airport (295) and Dilshad Garden (272) is slightly below ‘very bad’.
  • Condition of NCR: Neighboring cities Noida (344) and Ghaziabad (333) are also colored in Delhi’s colours. There is definitely some relief in Faridabad (207).

Vehicle smoke is the biggest enemy, not stubble.

Often we start cursing farmers and stubble as pollution increases, but the latest figures are telling a different story. IITM The report shows that Delhi’s air quality is deteriorating Stubble contributes only 1.2% to 1.7% It is only there.
The real culprits are the city vehicles. in Delhi’s pollution The share of vehicle emissions is about 18.4%. Is. There is also the influence of neighboring districts like Sonipat, Karnal and Panipat, but we ourselves are creating the most pollution.

How will the weather be today?

The Meteorological Department (IMD) says that there will be fog in Delhi throughout the day today. This can make it difficult to filter out pollution particles. The cold is now knocking. Today the maximum temperature of the day is expected to be around 26 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature will be around 11 degrees Celsius.

So the advice for now is this – wear a mask, use public transport and take care of your health.
