Pm 2.5 Pollution Levels In Delhi

PM 2.5 and PM 10 are terms used to describe different sizes of airborne particles found in the atmosphere

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.

There is barely any difference in overall PM2.5 trends between cities covered under the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) and those outside its ambit, according to a new analysis by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE).

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...

Residents of Delhi, regularly listed as one of the world's most polluted cities, are revelling in azure skies and clean air as a result of the coronavirus lockdown.

In a bid to support the government's efforts to combat air pollution, private cab aggregator Ola and Microsoft Research on Monday joined hands to measure real-time street level air quality data in Delhi-NCR. Particulate Matter (PM 2.5) data will be collected through sensors mounted on Ola's fleet of vehicles.

Delhi, which is home to approximately 19 million people, is reeling under the menace of air pollution from the past couple of years. Know what the safe levels of pollution are and tips to beat it.

On Monday morning, the air quality index (AQI) of the capital was recorded at 251.

Delhiites woke up to a thick blanket of fog on Monday morning amid falling temperatures, while the air quality in the national capital continued to be in the 'very poor' category.

As Delhi reels under high levels of air pollution, a study on Thursday said the city recorded the highest levels of exposure to ultra fine particulate matter, PM 2.5, last year while asserting that outdoor pollution reduced the average life expectancy in the national capital by 1.5 years.

On Monday, the Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5 level was recorded at 231, while the PM 10 was recorded at 402 in New Delhi.

Delhi's air quality improved today due to dispersion of pollutants and rapidly decreased the pollution level to 'moderate to poor' category from the 'severe plus' for the first time in six days, monitoring agencies said.

The Green Court today delivered a blistering criticism of the Arvind Kejriwal government's Delhi Odd-Even rule and pointing to various other measures that could have been taken, said the government should not "test its patience". The court okayed the plan, which will be implemented from Monday, but banned most exemptions -- including to two-wheeler...

Delhi woke up to a choking blanket of smog today as air quality in the world's most polluted capital city reached hazardous levels. The US embassy website said levels of the fine pollutants known as PM 2.5 that are most harmful to health reached 703 -- well over double the threshold of 300 which authorities class as hazardous.

The Supreme Court-appointed pollution watchdog recently implemented a Graded Response Action Plan or GRAP, which promises to take strict action every time particulate matter or PM 2.5 concentration reaches "very poor" or "severe" levels in Delhi and the National Capital Region. Experts, however, are saying that the short-term emergency measures the...
