Delhi's air quality saw a slight improvement, reaching an index of 164. However, pollution from fine particles continues to be a concern.
Delhi residents experienced a slight respite from the persistent air pollution as the city's Air Quality Index (AQI) improved to 164 on Tuesday. While this represents a marginal decrease from previous days, the AQI still falls within the 'unhealthy' category. Experts warn that pollution from fine particulate matter remains a significant health hazard. These tiny particles can penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream, posing serious risks to respiratory and cardiovascular health.
