A thick layer of smog enveloped Delhi’s Anand Vihar on Saturday as the Air Quality Index (AQI) plummeted to 334, classified as ‘very poor’, raising health concerns across the national capital. The Central Pollution Control Board has warned that prolonged exposure to this level of pollution can cause severe respiratory illnesses, especially for vulnerable groups.
Adding to the pollution, temperatures remain higher than usual, with the IMD reporting maximum temperatures of around 34-35 degrees Celsius and minimum temperatures dropping to 18 degrees Celsius. The current wind patterns are contributing to stagnant air, trapping pollutants, and exacerbating the already critical situation.
