The pollution national capital still has rescue you just have to do your part. Meanwhile jokes cartoons and memes on delhi s smog are going on all over social media. At about 3 1 meters per floor people on the 20 th floor are about 62 meters high.

I ve never rigorously tested this question maybe i ll do it soon but i can answer this if we turn it into a smaller questi. The burning of post harvest paddy stubble in the agricultural fields of haryana and punjab is often cited as a major cause of this unhealthy smog. Smog in delhi is an ongoing severe air pollution event in new delhi and adjoining areas in the national capital territory of india. Epa sixty years ago in december london was engulfed with a toxic mix of dense fog and sooty black smoke for four days.

But don t lose hope folks. Low visibility has resulted in accidents across the city notably a 24 vehicle pile up on the yamuna expressway. It has been reported as one of the worst levels of air quality in delhi since 1999. Air pollution in 2017 peaked on both pm 2 5 and pm 10 levels.
