Check out Delhi's air quality index with realtime updates about pollution and gas levels in the city.

Delhi air pollution has been a result of a long stretch of ignorance and incompetence towards the rising pollutants that has led us to a position where Delhi city was ranked the most polluted city not just in India but in a survey by WHO where 1650 major cities of the world were inspected. Currently, Delhi has been one of the most polluted cities in the world.

A report by the Environmental Performance Index in 2014 said that a total decline of 100 percent was seen in the air quality of India in the last 10 years and the city that has been hit the greatest is the capital city, New Delhi, India. Research by Berkeley Earth revealed that on an average, when the AQI is in a relatively better state than the usual, breathing that air still means that pollutants equal to the same amount as 31 cigarettes smoke entering your lungs.

With statistics like these, all of us need to be educated and concerned about the rising Delhi pollution level. Learn about the causes and effects of Delhi air pollution so that we can understand the problem and try to bring a change on a personal and public level.
