The city's air quality deteriorated sharply on Tuesday morning with many residents
complaining of a “choking feeling“. In conges ted areas like Mandir Marg and Anand Vihar,
the levels of fine, respirable particles (PM 2.5) hovered between 200 and 500 micrograms
per cubic met re from 9am to 12pm, which is 3 to 8 times the national ambient air
standard for 24 hours.
The air quality improved marginally later in the day but turned worse again in the evening,
possibly due to congestion. Delhiites have been breathing in foul air since October 27.
Some monitoring stations are showing “severe“ level of pullution, especially in peak traffic
hours, accor ding to Centre's Air Quality Index (AQI). Delhi Pollution Control Committee's
(DPCC) data reveals that even the daily averages have reached dange rous levels.
On November 2 for instance, the PM 2.5 average for Pun jabi Bagh and Anand Vihar was
331 micrograms per cubicmetre and 283 micrograms per cubicmetre, respecyiovely . The
immediate reasons for such a massive jump in pollution levels is a combination of factors,
including the Punjab farm fires, local emissions and meteorological conditions.

“This time of the year winds are usually north-easterly . Ho wever, due to a
western distur bance, winds for a small period became westerly . The winds
carried particles from the farm fires. Temperature dropped due to WD, which
brought the boundary layer down leading to a huge spike (in pollution
levels),“ said Gufran Beig, project director, System of Air Quality and Weather
Forecasting and Research (SAFAR).
But experts fear that blaming it only on farm fires will be misleading as local
emissions will continue to be a major contributor to the toxic air of the city.
In the absence of any large-scale intervention to deal with emissions from
the transport sector and due to the non-compliance with the Supreme Court
order to levy a pollution tax on trucks plying through Delhi, there will be no
improvements in air quality this year. The unusual surge in the PM 2.5 levels
was seen last year too, which led to a public campaign calling for action.

“Last year we had analysed the pollution data and found there were 12
episodes of severe air quality where three consecutive days were highly
polluted. Not all of them were due to farm fires obviously . The
government has not put in emergency reaction like Beijing and other
cities where agencies react to each episode by shutting industries,
closing schools, etc,“ said Vivek Chattopadhyay of Centre for Science
and Environment (CSE).
He added there is no way to find out what steps the government has
taken to clean Delhi's air. “Although they have announced a number of
steps, it's very difficult to assess at what scale they have been imp
lemented. How many visibly polluting vehicles have been challaned for
instance,“ he said.

There has been no respite from diesel emissions either. According to
the transport department data, 34,261diesel vehicles were registered
in the first five months of this year, which is more than 40% of the total
registrations done in the corresponding period last year.
A study commissioned to IIT Kanpur by Delhi government on sour ces
of air pollution in Delhi is also pen ding. “The in terim report says there
are multiple pollutants dominating in Delhi with each having their own
characteristic. The final report on which source contributes how much
will come soon,“ Ashwani Kumar, secretary , environment department
told TOI. On Tuesday , CM Arvind Kejriwal held a meeting with various
agencies and directed environment minister Imran Hussain to take up
the farm fire issue with Punjab and Haryana.
