No signs of relief
The wind speed in Delhi is generally less than ten kilometres per hour. Also, due to the increasing cold, the pollution particles are remaining in the atmosphere for a longer time. According to experts, there is no possibility of relief from the polluted air for the people of Delhi in the next three to four days.
Why is Delhi's air quality deteriorating?
According to experts, the main reason for the severe air quality is the weather pattern, especially the Western Disturbance, due to which the wind speed has been very low since Friday. According to Mahesh Palawat, Vice President of Skymet, this low wind speed has led to a significant increase in pollution levels. Pollutants such as vehicle exhaust and construction dust accumulate in the cold air. The pollutants do not get a chance to rise, so they remain trapped very close to the ground.
