The Daily Guardian
|March 12, 2025
India saw a seven per cent decline in PM2.5 levels in 2024, but six of the world's ten most polluted cities were still in the country, according to the IQAir 2024 World Air Quality Report.
India's annual PM2.5 average fell to 50.6 ug/m3 from 54.4 ug/m3 in 2023, yet it remained the fifth most polluted country globally.
New Delhi continued to record extreme pollution, with an annual PM2.5 average of 91.6 ug/m3 in 2024, almost unchanged from 92.7 ug/m3 in 2023.
Severe pollution episodes persisted, especially in northern states, with Baddi in Himachal Pradesh recording a January PM2.5 average of 165 ug/m3 (2024).
Thirteen of the world's 20 most polluted cities are in India, with Byrnihat in Assam topping the list.
