New Delhi, Nov 26 (ANI): A thick layer of smog blankets Delhi on November 26. Additionally, the air quality of national capital also took a major hit due to a combination of firecracker emissions, stubble burning and unfavourable meteorological conditions in past one month. According to the Air Quality Index (AQI) data and System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR), major pollutants in Delhi’s Lodhi Road area were PM 2.5 at 215 and PM 10 at 203 both in ‘poor’ category. Higher value of AQI indicates greater level of air pollution and health concern. Residents have complained of a spike in respiratory problems, allergies and other health issues. On November 01, the Supreme Court-mandated Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority (EPCA) declared public health emergency in Delhi due to rising air pollution levels. To curb air pollution, the Arvind Kejriwal led-government had earlier implemented the odd-even scheme in Delhi from November 04-November 15.
