CSE forecast – Delhi’s first dense haze of weather, may remain for the longest time in four years
Haze in Delhi: The first dense smog of the season has covered Delhi and the National Capital Region. This smog is likely to engulf Delhi and surrounding areas for the next two days. The Center for Science and Environment (CSE) has given this information regarding smog in Delhi. According to the report, the seasonal smog in Delhi is dense, but the average daily contribution of stubble burning from mid-October to November 8 has been the lowest in the last four years. Contribution of smoke to smog lowest in last four years CSE said, “The contribution of smoke to the average daily PM 2.5 of Delhi during October to November 8 has been the lowest in the last four years. So far it has been recorded on an average of 12 per cent per day as compared to 17 per cent last year, 14 per cent in 2019 and 16 per cent in 2018. Learn how the mist formed? “Obviously the combined effect of adverse weather conditions (cold and calm winds), stubble and crackers burning has turned the weather hazy,” said Anumita Roy Chowdhury, executive director of research at CSE. There was haze for eight days in 2019 CSE said that comparing the first occurrence of haze of the last four years, the current haze matches the first haze period of 2018 and 2020 which lasted for six days. If the conditions do not improve, it could last longer than the haze of 2019 which lasted for eight days.
