Delhi Pollution Today: Delhi-NCR is still experiencing a pollution issue, and the cold is acting up. Today is predicted to be a day of light rain
Delhi's pollution level has risen to three and a half times the recommended levels. At 4 p.m., the average concentration of PM 10 and PM 2.5 in Delhi's air was 366 and 216 micrograms per cubic meter, respectively. These values are more than three-quarters of the recommended levels. The majority of Delhi is covered in smog, which makes vision difficult.
Delhi, New. For the last month, Delhi and the NCR have been plagued by the pollution issue. The cold has now begun to become worse gradually. The people of Delhi-NCR are being smacked twice in such a circumstance. People are becoming more concerned about pollution and the chilly weather, on the one hand. Delhi is not the only region in the NCR where the quality of the air is'very bad'. Many other locations as well.
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) reports that on Monday morning, the air quality rating in Delhi-NCR surpassed 450. In Anand Vihar, 410 in RK Puram, 444 in Punjabi Bagh, and 422 in ITO, the AQI was recorded. The Meteorological Department reports that a western disturbance developed on Sunday, which might result in light rain on Monday in certain locations.
There is a chance of rain in Delhi today.
The capital's shifting weather patterns might result in a one-degree Celsius drop in Monday's lowest temperature. According to the Meteorological Department's forecast, Delhi might see a four-degree Celsius dip in temperature by the evening. There will also likely be light morning rain. There will be further cold in Delhi-NCR after the rain. In addition, it is anticipated that on Thursday and Friday, the lowest temperature will drop to nine degrees Celsius. In addition, the daytime temperature will decrease.
Delhi's hotspots are now producing more pollution.
The stabble smoke is now practically gone among the politics of allegation and counter-accusation. The number of stubble burning incidents in Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh has decreased to around 300, and its smoke's contribution to capital city pollution has decreased to about two to three percent.
The air in Delhi is becoming too thin to breathe despite this circumstance. The hotspots in the capital are now contributing to the increased pollution levels in this area. On Sunday, 11 of the 13 hotspots that had previously been identified had pollution levels greater than Delhi's average. Among them, hotspots like Wazirpur had an AQI of 464, placing them in the "very serious" category.
The battle against pollution starts now.
It is well known that thirteen of these "hot spots," where pollution levels are often greater than the city's average, were discovered around five years ago in an effort to prevent pollution in Delhi. But they are still hotspots today.
An individual action plan is created annually to reduce pollution at these locations. This time around, at the onset of winter, distinct action plans were created for each of these locations in an attempt to avoid pollution. However, the current state of affairs indicates that not much progress has been made in preventing pollution at any of these locations.
Here is where pollution is most.
In comparison to other areas of the city, the pollution levels in 11 locations are still the greatest. The average pollution level in Delhi on Sunday falls into the "very poor" category, which helps to explain the degree of pollution at hotspot locations.
Simultaneously, two levels above this, in hotspots like Jahangirpuri, Vivek Vihar, and Wazirpur, the amount of pollution has reached the "extremely severe" category. At 450 pm on Sunday, the AQI for all three locations was over 450.
Three halves of the pollutants compared to the norms
Delhi's pollution level has risen to three and a half times the recommended levels. At 4 p.m., the average concentration of PM 10 and PM 2.5 in Delhi's air was 366 and 216 micrograms per cubic meter, respectively. These values are more than three-quarters of the recommended levels.
The majority of Delhi is covered in smog, which makes vision difficult. At seven in the morning, Safdarjung's visibility was 500 meters. It reached 1500 meters around four o'clock in the evening, when it should have been above two thousand meters.
