Peak winter pollution levels dipping: Report

Hindustan Times  

Average pollution levels in the Capital during the winter months are on a rise year-on-year, a study carried out by the Centre for Science and Environment has revealed. CSE in its analysis looked at PM 2.5 data for Delhi shared by the Central Pollution Control Board for the months October to January over the last five years. However, the data also showed despite the dip in peak, the average PM 2.5 concentration last winter was 189µg/m³ — the highest in the last five years. This is a 9% increase in the average PM 2.5 concentration in comparison to 2019-20 and reflects elevated levels of pollution and high impact of atmospheric conditions too,” said the analysis. “As travel distances increase across NCR, the increasing reliance on private vehicles over public transport to commute also appears to be increasing, which means increased congestion on the roads,” Roychowdhury said.
