It's not just a matter of a few months. In the last four years, PM 2.5 has averaged 95 micrograms per cubic meter in Delhi, while it was 45 in Mumbai.
New Delhi: The
situation in the country's capital Delhi and financial capital Mumbai is getting worse day by day due to pollution, which is why a report on pollution has described the pollution level in Mumbai as worrisome, while the situation in Delhi has been described as worse due to pollution. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal also made a tweet about the level of pollution. In this tweet, he wrote that after a long time, Delhi is out of the list of the world's most polluted city. It is another matter that this happened only one day. Due to strong winds on this day, the level of pollution in Delhi had come down. Explain that this report about pollution has been released by a Swiss organization. This organization keeps updating the data about pollution from time to time.
According to this report, the level of pollution in Mumbai is getting worse with each passing day. The figures for Mumbai are very worrying. Data on pollution shows that the national capital's pollution level has been consistently twice the level of Mumbai.
This report is based on the measurement of PM 2.5 pollutant levels. The micro and deadly particulate matter PM can beat the safety of the human body. It has the ability to penetrate deep into the lungs and other parts of the body.
This new data on pollution shows that the level of pollution in Delhi is higher than Mumbai compared to the year 2022. Especially if we talk about the months of November and December. The pollution level here was higher than Delhi this month.
And it's not just a matter of a few months. In the last four years, PM 2.5 has averaged 95 micrograms per cubic meter in Delhi, while it was 45 in Mumbai.
Metropolitans located on the coast usually benefit from sea air, which mainly frees the city from pollution from vehicles, construction and road dust. However, this winter, doctors have talked about an increase in the number of patients with respiratory infections, especially among children.
The data (given below) shows that PM 2.5 levels in November and December have increased by 18 per cent compared to the previous year. The government's data is reportedly showing a sharp rise of over 60 per cent last November.
Data, which is presented with the World Health Organization guidelines for clean air (given below). This shows how far the two cities are from the safe PM 5.2 limit of just 5 micrograms per cubic metre.
For last November and December, Delhi surpassed the WHO's safe air quality standard by nearly 40 times and Mumbai nearly 16 times. Both of them are very dangerous for health.
