AQI is likely to deteriorate post-Deepavali even if firecracker load is 50% of 2019: SAFAR
Delhi’s air quality is likely to deteriorate to ‘severe’ level on Friday and Saturday if pollution from firecrackers is 50% of what was seen in 2019, said authorities.
But if there is no additional pollution from firecrackers, the air quality is expected to remain in the ‘very poor’ range, which has been continuing since Tuesday.
The city’s air quality on Wednesday worsened slightly (314) from Tuesday (303) but continued in the ‘very poor’ category, according to the Central Pollution Control Board’s 4 p.m. bulletin, which is an average of the past 24 hours and considered the day’s AQI.
