The toxic levels of air pollution in and around Delhi pose a serious threat to humans, and the surrounding environment. Adding to the severity, changing weather patterns have trapped pollutants in the air, exacerbating the situation. Doctors are warning people about the dangers of going outside and discouraging them from doing so.

What are the causes of this escalating Air pollution in Delhi?

The national capital Delhi is bordered by the states of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. There are several points that plays major factor for the air pllution in delhi. Below listed point are-

1: Crop burning by farmers in these states is one of the primary causes of rising air pollution levels in Delhi.

2: Pollution caused by Delhi's traffic jams is another factor contributing to air pollution and smog. The air quality index has risen to a "severe" level.

3: Vehicle emissions exacerbate the dangers of air pollution and smog.

4: As the winter season approaches, dust particles and pollutants in the air become immobile. Because, of stagnant winds, these pollutants become trapped in the air and affect weather patterns, resulting in smog.

5: Overcrowding in the capital is another source of air pollution.

6: Another source of air pollution is a lack of investment in public infrastructure. In India, investment in public transportation and infrastructure is low, resulting in congested roads and, as a result, air pollution.

7: Large-scale construction in Delhi-NCR is another source of dust and pollution in the air. As a result of the deteriorating air quality, a number of construction sites have halted operations, as directed by the Delhi Government.

8: Industrial pollution and garbage dumps also contribute to air pollution and smog formation.

9: Despite the cracker ban, firecrackers were everywhere this Diwali. It may not be the primary cause of the smog, but it certainly contributed to its accumulation.
