Delhi's air quality deteriorated again on Monday, with pollutants from 19 districts of neighboring states and vehicle exhausts driving the spike.
Monday saw Delhi's air quality worsen as seasonal conditions intensified pollution levels. Reports indicate that emissions originating from 19 districts in neighboring states significantly contributed to the deteriorated air quality. Vehicle exhaust fumes were identified as a major local source of pollutants, compounding the problem. The combined effect of cross‑border emissions and heavy traffic has pushed Delhi's air quality index into hazardous ranges, raising concerns for residents' health.
