Delhi’s air quality dropped to the “poor” category on Saturday, with the air quality index (AQI) recorded at 219. This report is presented by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data at 8 am. A thin layer of smog enveloped parts of Delhi-NCR, including prominent landmarks like India Gate and Barapulla.
According to CPCB data, the AQI increased from 161 on Thursday to 186 at 8 am on Friday (December 6), staying in the “moderate” range for the third consecutive day. The Centre’s air quality management body for Delhi-NCR removed pollution control measures under “Stages III and IV of the Graded Response Action Plan (Grap)” in response to better air quality.
From 0 to 50 (good), 51 to 100 (satisfactory), 101 to 200 (moderate), 201 to 300 (poor), 301 to 400 (very poor), and 401 to 500 (severe), the AQI levels are categorized. Grap limitations have been lowered to Stage.
Authorities lowered Grap’s pollution control measures from Stage IV to Stage II on Thursday after the air quality improved to “moderate” for the first time this winter on Wednesday. Coal and firewood are prohibited in businesses and commercial spaces like restaurants, among other measures now in place.
Citing improved air quality, the Supreme Court earlier this week gave the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) permission to reduce limitations from Grap-IV to Stage II. Delhi saw “moderate” air quality for the second day in a row on Thursday, with an AQI of 165.
