News India Live, Digital Desk: The festival of Diwali has passed, but it has left behind poisonous smoke, which is suffocating Delhi and surrounding areas. Even two days after Diwali, there has been no improvement in the air quality of the national capital and the air quality index (AQI) remains in the “very poor” category. In the morning, a thick blanket of smog covered the entire Delhi, due to which people had to face a lot of problems in breathing. Experts say that there are many reasons behind this bad air. Not only is the smoke from firecrackers burnt on Diwali a major reason, the smoke from stubble being burnt in neighboring states like Punjab and Haryana is also making the air more poisonous. Changing weather conditions are also playing an important role in this. Due to reduced wind speed and drop in temperature, pollutants have accumulated in the lower part of the atmosphere, due to which the situation has become even more serious. In many areas of Delhi, AQI was recorded close to 400, which is considered extremely dangerous for health. This poisonous air is affecting children, the elderly and people suffering from respiratory diseases the most. Doctors have advised people to avoid leaving the house in the morning and evening and if necessary, use a mask. According to the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR), there is no significant hope of improvement in the air quality of Delhi in the coming few days. Unless the wind speed increases and incidents of stubble burning reduce, the people of Delhi will be forced to breathe this poisonous air. This once again reminds us of how important it is for us to take care of the environment while celebrating festivals.
