Delhi pollution level today: Preparations for Diwali are in full swing – houses are being decorated, sweets are being made and there is happiness in the hearts. But at this time the air of Delhi is not mixed with happiness but with poison. This is the sixth consecutive day when Delhi’s air remains ‘bad’, and even before the festival night arrives, the situation has worsened so much that this celebration can take a toll on our health. The figures of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) are scary. Delhi’s average air quality index (AQI) on Sunday morning was 274, which is considered ‘poor’. But that’s just average! It seems as if many areas of the city have turned into ‘gas chambers’. In Anand Vihar, AQI reached 426, which falls in the ‘severe’ category. This air directly attacks the lungs and is extremely dangerous for children, elderly people or people with respiratory diseases. This fire is not limited to Delhi only. If you are thinking that this is the condition of Delhi only, then you are wrong. Cities of NCR are also in the grip of suffocating air: AQI in Noida and Gurugram is at 342, which is ‘very bad’. Ghaziabad’s Loni area is also struggling to breathe with an AQI of 341. Where did so much poison come from suddenly? There are three big culprits behind the blanket of smog in Delhi’s sky at present: Vehicle smoke: At present, the largest share in pollution (about 16%) is from vehicle smoke. Upcoming firecrackers: The firecrackers to be burnt on Diwali will make this air even more deadly. Stubble smoke: The smoke of stubble coming from nearby states is making this poison even more intense. Experts have warned that these three ‘villains’ together can make Delhi’s air reach the ‘severe’ category in the coming days. Doctors and officials are all saying the same thing – go out of the house as little as possible, and even if you have to go out, definitely wear a mask. And the biggest appeal is that do not burn firecrackers this Diwali, so that the light of Diwali does not turn into darkness of health.
