Delhi Air Quality Remains Severe AQI Over 450 in Some Areas

Delhi air quality continues to remain in the severe category, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) in some areas surpassing 450. The alarming levels of pollution have raised serious health concerns, with experts urging residents, especially those with respiratory conditions, to limit outdoor activities.

The city air quality has been deteriorating for days, largely due to a combination of vehicular emissions, industrial pollution, and the burning of crop stubble in neighboring states. Weather conditions, including low winds and a lack of rainfall, have worsened the situation, trapping pollutants in the atmosphere.

Government agencies have issued health advisories, advising vulnerable groups, including children and the elderly, to stay indoors. Hospitals have reported a spike in patients suffering from respiratory issues, with air pollution exacerbating existing health conditions.

Authorities are intensifying efforts to curb pollution by increasing the frequency of dust control measures, limiting construction activities, and enforcing a ban on firecrackers.

As the pollution crisis continues, Delhi residents remain concerned about the long-term health effects of the severe air quality.
