But realizing that its toxicity is enough to make its citizens sick for a long time requires a long time
Lifestyle changes are relatively new.
In the first week of November, a thick toxic smoke covered the whole city, which greatly promoted this awareness.
As awareness grows, sales of air purifiers and contaminated masks are growing rapidly.
As the noise and smoke from millions of firecrackers set off at the Hindu Diwali fade away, the city woke up in November.
The level of Pm2 soared by 1. 5 —
Such tiny particles of pollution go deep into the lungs.
The average level in the Indian capital is far more than 900 micrograms per cubic meter, 36 times more than what the WHO believes is acceptable, and 15 times the Indian standard.
Manufacturers and importers of air purifiers and contaminated masks said the end of 2016 was the first time they had a large number of Indian families asking and buying their products.
"It was not until 2016 that we started to reach the middle class," Barun Aggarwal said . " His head breathed a sigh of relief, a company that assessed whether there was pollution in New Delhi's homes and offices and provided solutions such as air purifiers and indoor plants.

But despite the heightened awareness, New Delhi's response to air pollution is not consistent.
Air pollution is a year.
