Delhi's air quality improves slightly, but still 'very poor'

India Nov 10, 2025

Delhi's air quality saw a small boost on Monday, with the AQI dropping from 391 to 345.
But don't get your hopes up—this still counts as "very poor," and some neighborhoods like Bawana (AQI 412) and Rohini (AQI 390) recorded 'severe' and 'very poor' air quality levels, respectively.

Nearby cities also facing pollution crisis

It's not just Delhi—nearby cities like Faridabad, Ghaziabad, and Noida are also breathing dangerously polluted air.
With AQI levels above 300, the risk of breathing problems and heart issues goes up, especially for kids and older folks.
The main culprits? Firecrackers and crop burning, which keep the smog hanging around.

Health risks piling up

With health risks piling up, people are calling for stronger action from officials to tackle this ongoing pollution crisis.
