Air pollution continues to worsen in New Delhi, the capital of India. According to an AFP report on November 4, data from the air quality monitoring company IQAir shows that PM2.5 concentrations in parts of New Delhi exceed 461 micrograms per cubic meter, more than 30 times the standard recommended by the World Health Organization. According to the “Global Air Quality Guidelines” issued by WHO in 2021, the 24-hour average concentration limit for PM2.5 is 15 micrograms per cubic meter. PM2.5 is a fine particle with a diameter of no more than 2.5 microns. It can penetrate the human respiratory system and even enter the blood circulation. Long-term exposure poses various health risks. According to the “New India Express”, on November 3, New Delhi's air quality hit the worst record in 287 days. According to the BBC, with the arrival of winter, the air quality in New Delhi has deteriorated again. The local air quality index has exceeded 300, reaching a “very poor” level, and is expected to continue until at least the 6th.
