Delhi Pollution

Delhi Pollution refers to the severe air quality deterioration experienced in Delhi, the capital territory of India. It is characterized by high levels of airborne pollutants, including particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide. The pollution is primarily caused by a combination of factors such as vehicular emissions, industrial discharges, construction dust, and crop burning in surrounding agricultural areas. Seasonal variations, particularly during winter months, exacerbate the situation, leading to smog formation and associated health risks. The high pollution levels in Delhi pose significant public health challenges, contributing to respiratory diseases, cardiovascular issues, and other serious health conditions. Efforts to combat Delhi pollution include regulatory measures, pollution control initiatives, and public awareness campaigns aimed at reducing emissions and improving air quality.
