Delhi chokes on toxic air, stubble burning contributes 38% to pollution

India Today  

Delhi’s air quality plummeted to a 'severe' category over the past few days, with stubble burning contributing a staggering 38 per cent to the city’s pollution on Friday—its highest share so far in 2024. For several consecutive days, stubble burning has accounted for over 30 per cent of Delhi’s pollution, with contributions steadily rising from 30.8 per cent on November 13 to 37.5 per cent on November 15. While stubble burning is the primary contributor, vehicular emissions remain the second-largest source of pollution at 11.7 per cent, followed by industrial activities, residential practices, and road dust, construction, and garbage burning at 1 per cent each. Effective strategies to curb stubble burning, enhance vehicle emission standards, enforce stricter industrial regulations, and promote cleaner residential practices are critical to improving air quality and safeguarding public health in the capital.
