Many parts of Delhi reel under ‘severe’ level air pollution

What's behind this

The Better India article explains that the specific particulate matter—whether PM2.5 or PM10—drives India’s Air Quality Index and affects what people need to know about the air they breathe. Livemint reports that Delhi’s AQI jumped from 117 on Saturday to 261 on Sunday, and by Monday’s 4 PM bulletin the index reached 324, crossing the 300‑mark threshold for “very poor” air for the first time this season.
