Delhi Air pollution | What is the reason behind it and how can you prevent yourself from this Smog

Air Pollution in Delhi has been increased vary rapidly. With the changing environment conditions and the activities done by the public, the air pollution in Delhi has taken hype.

Delhi-NCR has been choking on toxic air for the past few months. Just a few weeks later, the air quality deteriorated further due to unabated crop burning practices in Haryana and Punjab, despite green bodies pulling up the state governments to administer strict monitoring.

Delhi shares its borders with farming states like Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, therefore, one of the main reasons why Delhi is experiencing such high pollution levels is due to crop burning, lit garbage and road dust.

The vehicular pollution caused by cars, trucks, buses and industrial pollution combined adds up and creates unsuitable living conditions. This is the second time this year that Delhi is experiencing such high pollution levels.

Smog is a form of air pollution. It is a mixture of smoke and fog and refers to smoky fog, its opacity, and odour. This kind of visible air pollution is composed of nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides, ozone, smoke or particulates among others.
