Posted on 26th Oct 2022 10:31 am by rohit kumar

Delhi-NCR AQI Level Today: After Diwali, there has been a lot of improvement in the pollution level in Delhi. The Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 262 at 6 am on Wednesday. However, the level of pollution in the air remains in the poor category. The AQI was recorded at 312 on Tuesday evening i.e. the day after Diwali. Meteorologists believe that the effect of pollution in Delhi was less visible due to the light breeze from a late night of Diwali.

 

Where in Delhi, how much pollution

At 6 am on Wednesday, Delhi's Lodhi Road AQI was 204, the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium station registered an AQI of 257 and RK Puram recorded an AQI of 283. The pollution level in Anand Vihar is still in the very poor category. AQI 342 was recorded here this morning.

Breathable air of Greater Noida

The neighboring cities of Delhi also saw a significant reduction in pollution levels two days after Diwali. On Wednesday morning, the air of Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh was the best in the NCR areas. Here the AQI was recorded as 196. At the same time, there has been a decrease in the level of pollution in Noida too. Noida had 246 AQI. On the day of Diwali, Noida recorded an AQI of 342, which falls in the very poor category.

 

Apart from this, the air quality was recorded in the moderate to poor category on Wednesday morning with Ghaziabad AQI 262, Gurugram 242, and Faridabad AQI 243. An AQI of zero to 50 is considered good, 51 to 100 satisfactory, 101 to 200 moderate, 201 to 300 poor, 301 to 400 very poor, and 401 to 500 as severe.

 

pollution due to cyclone

On the very next day of Diwali, there was a decrease in the level of pollution in Delhi. Meteorologists are assuming the biggest reason for this is Cyclone Sitarang. The cyclone helped strengthen winds over northwest India and helped prevent the spread of Diwali and stubble smog into the atmosphere.

 

India Meteorological Department (IMD) Director General M Mohapatra said that due to a trough in westerly winds, the remnants of the cyclone moved in a north-northeast direction. He said that whenever a cyclone passes, the north-westerly winds also rise as the cyclone pulls the winds towards the system.
