Delhi Air Quality Deteriorates Amid Rising Pollution Levels

Delhi's air quality has deteriorated, with PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations rising above safe thresholds. The worsening conditions are attributed to increased vehicular emissions, construction dust, and crop burning in surrounding states. Health authorities warn that prolonged exposure can lead to respiratory and cardiovascular problems, especially for vulnerable groups. The government has urged citizens to limit outdoor activities and has activated emergency measures such as restricting vehicle movement on high pollution days.
