Today Delhi’s Air Quality Index (AQI) level was recorded at 157 µg/m³, which places it in the ‘poor’ category. The levels of major pollutants in the air are as follows: PM2.5 – 157 µg/m³, PM10 – 99 µg/m³, SO₂ – 6 mb, NO₂ – 16 mb, CO – 18 mb, and O₃ – 11 mb.
High levels of various pollutants make the air unbreathable; Therefore, keeping in mind the pollution levels, it is important to be careful while going out in the morning or evening. Increasing levels of pollution can pose a major threat to children, the elderly and people with respiratory diseases.
Today the wind speed is 1 kmph, humidity is 52% and dew point is 0°C. It is worth noting that due to low wind speed and high humidity, pollutants accumulate closer to the ground, due to which there is a possibility of a continuous increase in AQI.
