|December 21, 2024
The Capital recorded a fourth consecutive severe air pollution day on Friday, making it the longest streak that the air quality index (AQI) was above 400 in the month of December since 2021 with little respite on the horizon, according to weather officials.
NEW DELHI:
At 4pm on Friday, the 24-hour average AQI was at 429, marginally better than Thursday's 451 (severe-plus) but just as hazardous, according to data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). In 2021, Delhi recorded six such consecutive days, between December 21 and 26.
