Centre-run System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR) reported that the overall air quality in the national capital slightly improved but remained in the poor category with the Air Quality Index (AQI) clocking at 235.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The concentration of particulate matter of 10 micrometres (PM10) \u2014 coarse particles suspended in the air \u2014 was 341 micrograms per cubic metre air (\u00b5g\/m3) as of 5pm, against the 24-hour acceptable limit of 100 \u00b5g\/m3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The concentration of PM2.5 \u2014 particles that are smaller in size and are released from combustion activities \u2014 was about 105 \u00b5g\/m3, a little higher than the 24-hour acceptable limit of 60 \u00b5g\/m3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spike in PM10 concentration shows the impact of dust-laden winds on air quality, which, according to the Centre\u2019s Early Warning System for Delhi, is expected to largely remain in poor category for the next five days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
