Delhi is the most polluted city in India
Delhi has become the most polluted city in India with the average PM 2.5 level recorded at 243.3 micrograms per cubic metre, with a week-on-week increase of 19.5 per cent in pollution. According to the 'Air Quality Analysis' report of 'Respirar Living Sciences', the last place in the list of cities in terms of air quality is 281st. 'Respirar Living Sciences' analyzed PM2.5 levels in 281 cities from November 3 to 16. The major pollutant was PM 2.5. These are microscopic particles with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less. These are roughly the width of a human hair.
The Central Pollution Control Board says that these particles reach the lungs and enter the blood arteries. These particles pose serious health risks. This severe pollution reflects the combined effects of vehicle exhaust, industrial production and stubble burning. These conditions, combined with cold winter temperatures, prevent pollutants from rising above the ground much, the report said. It claims that Delhi's pollution is affecting the Ganga plains and many northern states including Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab. The air quality level in these states has also reached dangerous levels.
