Delhi Air Pollution| Air pollution reached 'very bad' category, smoke shadow in many parts
These days, breathing air is becoming very difficult for the general public in the national capital Delhi. Pollution is continuously getting dissolved in the air. Smog blanketed some areas of the national capital and the air quality remained in the ‘very poor’ category on Monday.
According to the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research, Delhi’s air quality index was recorded at 328. This is slightly better than Sunday’s average AQI of 356. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the AQI in Anand Vihar area was recorded at 357 at 7 am, which is in the ‘very poor’ category, while on Sunday it was 405, which was in the ‘severe’ category. The AQI around Akshardham temple was recorded at 357, which is worse than the AQI of 261 at 7 am yesterday.
SAFAR has estimated that despite the ban on firecrackers in Delhi till January 1, the air quality in the capital is likely to remain in the ‘very poor’ category in the coming week due to additional emissions from use of firecrackers and stubble burning. “Meteorological conditions are unfavorable for effective dispersion of pollutants,” said the notice issued by SAFAR.
Vansh Aggarwal, a student from Delhi, urged the government to use “new technologies and innovations” to control pollution in the capital city. He told ANI, “There are many reasons for the increase in pollution, including vehicular and industrial pollution. Even though it is being said that it is increasing because of Diwali, there are many reasons for it, it would be wrong to attribute it only to Diwali.” There should be a proper system to deal with the issue of pollution. There are so many engineering colleges, somehow we should use new technologies and innovations, government should take some steps instead of politicizing it. “
He compared the air quality between Greater Noida and Delhi, saying he felt it was worse in the national capital. “Now as a student I travel, so if I compare with Greater Noida and Delhi, I feel the air quality is worse here,” he said.
