Peak 'Mixing layer height' during daytime (~1.0-1.5 km) leads to moderate vertical dispersion of pollutants," read SAFAR's official statistics.The air quality watchdog also informed that strong winds at the transport level blowing from the northwest direction from stubble burning areas are likely to transport pollutants to Delhi and its share in Delhi's PM2.5 is likely to increase further.Environmentalist Vimlendu Jha toldthat Severe category AQI is very dangerous for health and it affects even healthy people and seriously impacts those with existing diseases.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
