Recently the AQI (Air Quality Index) is not reading good number, in fact the numbers show that Delhi and NCR have become unliveable with air quality now in ‘severe emergency’ category. Today the AQI showed 1,000 at some places (the range of AQI if 0-1,000) only limited because of it range, people assume it is way beyond 1,000. AQI of London, UK is 10, New York, USA is 15, Ottawa, Canada is 13, and Islamabad, Pakistan is 112.

The reason for this is said the burning of ‘stubble’ in the states of Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh along with road dust, garbage burning and pollution from factories and motor vehicles. The air has become toxic, it is believed that on an average a human being breathes in 8 litres of air per day, now just imagine that 8 litre of air being toxic air, how much it would affect your lungs, and throat.  People are finding it difficult to breathe, their eyes are burning and facing headaches. This all makes it a necessity to own and wear an anti-pollution mask nowadays.
