Air may get worse on Diwali day in Delhi: CPCB

Hindustan Times  

The impact of Friday’s overnight showers continued to improve the air quality in Delhi and surrounding regions for the second consecutive day — a day before Diwali — and kept it two notches away from the “severe” category. This year, between November 2 and November 9, the Capital lives through its longest and most severe stretch of air pollution when the AQI was above 390 for a record eight consecutive days. The 24-hour air quality index at 4pm on Saturday came to 220 as strong winds swept the city, but a staccato of firework sounds punctured hopes that citizens would adhere to the ban on Sunday, which will likely lead to a spike in pollution levels once Diwali celebrations are over. For the six days after November 14, “the air quality is likely to remain in ‘severe’ to ‘very poor’ category,” said the forecast. Hospitals ready ‘pollution clinics’ Anticipating a surge in respiratory and other pollution-related illnesses post Diwali, the Delhi government directed three major hospitals in the city to start pollution clinics and smaller centres to also have dedicated teams to tackle the patient surge.
