The air quality in Delhi continues to deteriorate and touch new lows with Monday's Air Quality Index touching 363 at Anand Vihar. Effectively, this touches the 'very poor' mark in the measure table of Central Pollution Control Board.
Over the past three days, the air quality was termed 'poor' on the value index, hovering between 230 to 254, largely due to stubble burning in neighbouring states of Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
Parts of Delhi like Dwarka, Sector-8, Mundka, Patparganj, Okhla, Mathura Road also showed alarmingly high AQI. Dwarka breathed in 'very poor' air at an AQI of 342, while Mathura Road was equally polluted with AQI 307.
Mundka, Patparganj and Okhla recorded 292, 246 and 253 AQI respectively.
The dip in Capital's air quality is a usual phenomenon in November when stubble burning increases pollution levels exponentially.
Additionally, weather conditions like wind speed and its direction are the other major factors behind Delhi's deadly pollution.
