Delhi's air quality has deteriorated significantly, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching 482 on November 4, 2026, according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). This marks the worst air quality in 288 days. Several monitoring stations recorded AQI levels above 400, indicating severe air quality. The deteriorating air quality is attributed to a combination of factors, including vehicular emissions, construction activities, and stubble burning. Experts warn that the situation may worsen during Diwali due to increased firecracker smoke. The government has implemented measures to reduce stubble burning, but the overall air quality remains a concern for public health.
