 These are the primary causes of the "poisonous" air in Ghaziabad, which is now tied with Delhi for the fifth-highest level of pollution in the nation

Ghaziabad.  Together with Delhi, Ghaziabad ranked fifth out of 244 cities in the nation on Saturday in terms of pollution. In Ghaziabad and Delhi, the air quality index (AQI) was 389. Hanumangarh has the highest reported air pollution.



 On Friday, the district's air quality index, which stood at 401, entered the severe category. The AQI dropped from the severe to the very bad level on Saturday. Although the district's AQI has decreased, Delhi and it are still the two most polluted cities in the nation.



The worst Loni wind in the area

The wind at Loni was the worst the area had ever seen. People experienced a burning feeling in their eyes, sore throats, and breathing difficulties as a result of the haze. As a result, hospitals are seeing an increase in patients. People are paying the price for government officials' carelessness.



If plans for pollution control had been developed sooner, this circumstance would not have come up. Although the district has implemented the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAPE) fourth phase limits, neither the district authorities nor the polluters are able to make the restrictions stick.


Delhi AQI Today: Over 500 people were registered in the severe category this morning; people in Delhi were forced to live in gas chambers for a month; even the NCR's air is unfit for human breathing.


On Saturday morning, the district's air quality was categorized as severe. This location's air quality index (AQI) was 424. The district's worst air quality was seen at Indirapuram.



The AQI was at 450. By four in the afternoon, this had altered. The district's air quality went from being very poor to very terrible, while Loni's air quality dropped to the severe category.



These are the primary causes of the rise of pollution.

Due to the outdated trucks' inability to spray, dust is blowing over the highways.
