Delhi AQI Today: The people of Delhi are facing the double blow of cold and pollution. Pollution has increased so much that people are having trouble breathing. There was a decrease in pollution for the last several days, so it seemed that now there is hope of relief, but once again for the last 5 days, the Air Quality Index (AQI) has crossed 400, which falls in the ‘severe’ category. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the air quality in Delhi remained very poor on Monday also. Even today on Tuesday, AQI is likely to cross 400 in most areas.
Talking about the temperature, today it is likely to be between 10 to 24 degrees Celsius in Delhi-NCR. The day started with great cold. According to IMD, the effect of fog and cold will continue. The pollution level is going to be very high. Right now, there is little hope of getting relief from this for a few days.
How much AQI in which category?
AQI is divided into 6 categories. Which includes severe (401-500), very poor (301-400), poor (201-300), moderately polluted (101-200), satisfactory (51-100) and good (0-50). According to AQI, you can find out in which category AQI is in your area. If AQI is above 200, the risk of health effects increases.
