Air quality in smog in India
The northern region, including the capital New Delhi, deteriorated sharply on Monday due to bad weather and an increase in burning wheat stubble smoke in the area\'s fields. Levels of PM 2.
5. Tiny particles that can go deep into the lungs and cause major health problems exceed 400 in most parts of the capital, soaring to more than 600 in some places.
This is almost 24 times the recommended level of 25 micrograms per cubic meter on average
The World Health Organization has set an hour, which this year says India is home to 14 of the world\'s most polluted cities.
New Delhi ranks sixth in pollution.
After a slight improvement on Sunday, air quality deteriorated earlier on Monday when the wind increased and is expected to be worse in the next few days.
\"The wind speed has dropped from 29 to 15 kilometers per hour, and the crop stubble burning in Punjab and Haryana has jumped significantly over the past few hours, \"Executive Director, amarta Roy Choko Centre for Studies and Environmental Studies
He said tanks refer to two states where farmers burn stubble in their fields to prepare for winter planting.
Authorities have warned that crop straw burning will peak in the next few days.
Even more worrying is that Indians will celebrate Diwali on Wednesday, when many members of most Hindu communities will set off firecrackers to celebrate.
The Supreme Court last month allowed Diwali to use \"green\" firecrackers in an attempt to curb pollution, but it was not clear how the rule would be enforced and whether there were environmental safety fireworks.
Lower winter temperatures and higher humidity, combined with lower wind speeds, tend to catch contaminants in the atmosphere, Roy Chowdhury said.
The Indian tropical meteorological institute also said changes in wind speed and wind direction, as well as more stubble burning, made the air more toxic.
The company and industry officials said that due to increasing public awareness of the health impact of pollution, sales of air purifiers increased by 40% over last year.
New Delhi and its satellite cities account for the majority of air purifier sales, but they are growing in other cities such as Mumbai and Bangladesh.
Unilever, Blue Air, Honeywell International and British Dyson dominate the air purifier market. (
