Mumbai on Friday once again recorded an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 317 which was worse than that of Delhi, an official of the India Meteorological Department said. On Thursday too, the city''s AQI was worse than that of the national capital

From May 18 to June 5, the AQI remained in the 'moderate' category. From July to September, monsoon rains kept pollution levels in check.  By October end, the air turned 'severe' again

A cold wave occurs in plains when the minimum temperature is less than 10 degrees Celsius or below and is 4.5 degrees less than normal for two consecutive days

The city's air quality index (AQI) was 209 at 9 am. The 24-hour average AQI was 137 on Friday, 302 on Thursday and 413 on Wednesday

According to government agencies, stubble fire counts reached 189 and the share of stubble burning in Delhi's air pollution was five per cent on Wednesday

The AQI is likely to deteriorate to the upper end of the 'very poor' category between Tuesday and Friday as \"unfavourable meteorological conditions\" are predicted during that period

Delhi is experiencing poor air quality despite the state government's order on ban on sale and bursting of firecrackers. As per the forecast, the pollution level in Delhi will deteriorate further by Sunday evening

Delhi air quality: If no crackers are burnt on Diwali day then the PM2.5 concentration in Delhi might be the lowest in the last four years, the Ministry of Earth Sciences said

SAFAR said that the share of stubble burning in Delhi's PM 2.5 pollution reached 38 per cent on Monday

The city recorded a minimum temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, the lowest in the season so far

According to the Ministry of Earth Sciences' air quality monitoring agency, SAFAR, the share of stubble burning in Delhi's PM2.5 pollution was 36 percent on Thursday -- the maximum so far this season

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the bench that the Centre has taken a holistic view of the matter and the draft of the proposed law on curbing pollution would be submitted in the apex court within four days

The Ministry of Earth Sciences' air quality monitor, SAFAR, said the wind direction and the wind speed is favourable for the transport of the pollutants from farm fires in Haryana, Punjab, and other neighbouring regions to Delhi

Multiple factors led to it: First they were asked to grow paddy to overcome food scarcity; mechanised harvesting left massive residue that takes longer to decompose and then paddy sowing was delayed to conserve water, overshooting residue burning into Delhi's bad winter air days

Delhi pollution: The Ministry of Earth Sciences' air quality monitor System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR) said a significant increase in the stubble-fire count was observed around Haryana, Punjab and other neighbouring regions

Pollution levels dipped slightly in the national capital on Tuesday morning due to favourable wind speed, with the air quality still being in the 'poor' category. The Ministry of Earth Sciences' air quality monitor, SAFAR, said the air quality index (AQI) is likely to slip to the 'very poor' category by Wednesday due to a change in the wind direction and a reduction in the wind speed.

The city recorded an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 227 on Tuesday, with an average AQI of 244 on Monday, 254 on Sunday and 287 on Saturday. Watch the video for more. Cash crunch?
