Delhi Air Quality Turns Severe Amidst Stagnant Weather Conditions

Imagine the air in Delhi is like a room that's gotten very dusty and cannot be cleaned because the windows are closed.

For the first time this season, the air in Delhi has become so polluted that it's now in the 'severe' category.

This means it's hard to breathe, especially for people who already have breathing problems.

Most of the city's air quality stations are showing very high pollution levels.

This happened because the weather is very still, with almost no wind, and there's fog, which is trapping all the tiny dirty particles near the ground.

Some pollution is also coming from farmers burning leftover crops in other areas.

This dirty air is making it uncomfortable for everyone living in Delhi.
