The air quality of the city continued to remain in the “very poor” category on Saturday. It is likely to improve but will be in the same range till Monday.
“Local surface winds also are low with moderate ventilation of near-surface pollutants. From 21st to 23rd, surface winds are likely to be strong resulting in effective dispersion that improves air quality,” Centre-run monitoring agency SAFAR (System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research) said in a statement.
On Saturday, the contribution of stubble burning in neighbouring states to PM2.5 — a chief air pollutant — in Delhi was negligible and the effective fire counts in the region came down to 752, as per SAFAR.
