Data from the Central Pollution Control Board show that around 11 a.m., 24 of the 37 monitoring sites registered AQI levels in the “severe” category.

Delhi was still covered in a heavy layer of pollution on November 5 as the overall air quality remained at 408, according to officials.

Data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) show that around 11 a.m., 24 of the 37 monitoring sites recorded AQI levels in the “severe” category.

Anand Vihar (394), Mathura Road (381), Dilshad Garden (278), ITO (396), Lodhi Road (371), Punjabi Bagh (357) and Pusa were other places where the AQI somewhat improved from “severe” to “very poor” (385).

An AQI of 400 or more is considered “severe,” and it can have an adverse effect on both healthy persons and people who already have medical conditions.

Alipur (434), Ashok Vihar (425), Bawana (450), Jahangirpuri (444), Mundka (434), Narela (452), Nehru Nagar (422), Patparganj (420), Rohini (437), Sonia Vihar (446), Vivek Vihar (426), and Wazirpur were among the areas that scored “severe” AQI (432).

The AQI remained in the “extremely poor” category in Ghaziabad (350), Noida (369), Greater Noida (333), Gurugram (356) and Faridabad, according to CPCB statistics (350).

An AQI of 0 to 50 is regarded as “excellent,” 51 to 100 as “acceptable,” 101 to 200 as “moderate,” 201 to 300 as “poor,” 301 to 400 as “extremely poor,” and 401 to 500 as “severe.”

The World Health Organization defines an acceptable level of PM2.5 as up to 15 micrograms per cubic meter throughout the course of a 24-hour period.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has announced that primary schools will be shuttered starting on Saturday in an effort to protect children due to the dangerous pollution levels in Delhi.

The AQI remained in the “extremely poor” category in Ghaziabad (350), Noida (369), Greater Noida (333), Gurugram (356) and Faridabad, according to CPCB statistics (350).

On the other hand, the Graded Response Action Plan’s last phase, which includes a ban on light motor vehicles powered by diesel engines older than BS VI, has also been put into effect.

Other than electric and CNG trucks, entry into Delhi is prohibited as well. Those who are carrying necessities are excluded.
