Delhi Air Quality Declines To 8 Months Low Air Quality Index Reaches Upto 300 Level In Dwarka 400 – Delhi: For the first time in eight months, the air is very bad, the air quality index reaches 300

Delhi's air has reached extremely poor levels for the first time in eight months. After Tuesday, the air quality index reached the 300 mark on Wednesday, due to lack of temperature and slowing of wind speed. Smoke is being reported from the border areas of Delhi, including Punjab and Haryana, behind the increase in pollution levels.

There was mist in the sky on Wednesday morning. Delhi's air quality index has been in the red zone since Tuesday. It was at 306 on Wednesday morning. Air quality index above 200 and poor index of 300 to 400 is called 'very poor'.

What does 'travel' say

However, it is still only around three per cent. According to Safar, over 600 cases of stubble burning were reported in neighboring states of Delhi on Monday. This is the highest in the last three years. Their numbers were recorded around 300 in 2018, 2019.

Despite the change in wind direction, the effect of smoke was less on Delhi. In contrast, the index had reached 306 in the morning due to low temperature and low wind speed. But the heat of the day reduced pollution. The 24-hour average air quality index of the CPCB remained at 300 due to fluctuations throughout the day. Earlier, air quality was recorded at very poor level on 12 February.

Traveling behind the deterioration of air quality, it is estimated that the wind direction has moved from northwest to east as estimated earlier, but the wind speed from Bay of Bengal was extremely low. At the same time, the speed of surface winds was also slow in Delhi.

This caused pollutants to survive in the winds and the index rose to extremely poor levels. Travel forecasts that the situation is not expected to change for the next two days. The air quality will remain at the boundary line of poor and very poor.

Index reaches 400 in Dwarka

Of course, Delhi's air quality index remains at 300, but in areas like Dwarka, Wazirpur, it is approaching 400. On Wednesday, the index for both the areas was recorded at 390 and 372 while the index for Mundka was at 352.
