Thick Smog Envelops Delhi, Neighbouring Cities For 2nd Consecutive Day After Diwali
A thick blanket of toxic smog gripped Delhi and nearby cities for a second consecutive day today as the national capital region continued to suffer from a post-Diwali hangover.
The hazardous air quality resulted from thousands in the city and nearby areas violating Diwali bans on firecrackers imposed by the Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana governments.
Airborne PM2.5 can cause cardiovascular and respiratory diseases such as lung cancer. Those with respiratory problems have been advised to stay indoors.
