Delhi AQI slips further: How 'cocktail of pollutants' reach your lungs

Quick Summary:

A thick layer of smog enveloped the national capital, though very few people were seen wearing recommended N-95 masks.

Additionally, colder weather leads to increased burning of biomass, such as wood or crop waste, which further adds to the pollution and adversely affects health.

During such extreme pollution levels, residents are advised to avoid outdoor activities like jogging and to refrain from going out before sunrise and after sunset.
