Farm fires' share in Delhi's pollution 38%, highest this season

The Hindu  

The share of stubble burning in Delhi's PM2.5 pollution jumped to 38% on November 3, which, experts said was the reason behind the thick layer of pungent smog over the National Capital. Delhi's air quality slipped back into the "severe" zone on November 3 morning amid raging farm fires and stagnant conditions at night. Punjab had on November 2 reported 3,634 farm fires, the highest this season so far, though their share in Delhi PM2.5 pollution stood at just 12% due to unfavourable transport-level wind speed. SAFAR said the share of stubble burning in Delhi's PM2.5 pollution was "moderate" at 12% due to unfavourable transport-level wind speed.
