Delhi Pm10 Levels

A blanket of mist enveloped Mumbai on Wednesday, pushing the city's air to the 'moderate' category on the Air Quality Index (AQI). The phenomenon has been there for the last three to four days, said officials.

In a "big relief" for Delhi residents, the PM10 and PM2.5 levels have declined by an average of 45 per cent in the last 9 years, Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai said today.

The PM10 pollution in Delhi soared to hazardous levels on Tuesday as strong winds swept the city, raising dust and leaving a thick blanket of haze over it.

Delhi was the most polluted city in India in 2022 with PM2.5 levels more than double the safe limit and the third highest average PM10 concentration, according to an analysis of Central Pollution Control Board data.

Delhi registered a 64 per cent reduction in PM2.5 concentration and a 57 per cent drop in PM10 levels on Diwali this year as compared to last year, the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) said in a report.

Delhi is among the 31 cities under the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) which have shown an increase in the level of PM10 pollutant concentration in 2020-21, the government told Parliament on Thursday.

The average levels of various pollutants, including PM10, PM2.5 and nitrogen dioxide, in Delhi last year were the lowest since 2014, according to the Delhi Economic Survey report.

With the level of pollutants like PM10 and PM 2.5 increasing to 265 and 129, the quality of air in Delhi and the National Capital Region plummeted to the poor and very poor category on Tuesday. India Meteorological Department's Delhi wing observed that significant trimming in stubble burning along with the change in wind direction can improve the s...

With very few vehicles on roads, only essential commercial units functioning due to the coronavirus-forced lockdown and a weather favourable for dispersion of pollutants, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has reported 46 per cent reduction in PM2.5 levels and 50 per cent depletion in PM10 concentrations in the national capital.

The Delhi Pollution Control Committee today said less fireworks, rigorous night patrolling and enforcement measures to curb instigators reduced the PM2.5 and PM10 levels by 30 per cent on Diwali night this year when compared to 2018.

Delhi's air quality continued to improve on Sunday with the pollution level coming down to 'poor' category after oscillating between 'very poor' and 'severe' for nearly three weeks, authorities said.

Even as Delhi remained wrapped in a thick blanket of haze and dust for the fourth consecutive day, there is relief in the offing. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has said that strong winds from the west will clear the dusty stagnant air in the next 24 hours. Thunderstorms are also expected at isolated places over the city in the next days...

As air pollution rose to staggering levels in Delhi, a thick cover of haze, dust and winds have enveloped the city for the fourth consecutive day today. Visibility in the national capital has also remained poor with the capital city's citizens being given warnings of severe health risks.

India's capital city of New Delhi, choked by rising automobile emissions and construction dust, was named on Wednesday the world's most polluted megacity by the World Health Organization, which analyzed the levels of the pollutant PM10 in the air in cities with populations above 14 million between 2010 and 2016.

More than 90 percent of the global population is breathing in high levels of pollutants, the World Health Organization said Wednesday, blaming poor air quality for some seven million deaths annually.
