Delhi authorities have introduced a rule requiring green construction-site nets to be at least 100 GSM thick because thinner nets do not properly stop dust pollution.

The city has seen a sharp fall in fine particle pollution (PM2.5) over the past decade, dropping by more than half from 198.44 micrograms µg/m³ in 2015-16 to 91.7 in 2026-27, a decline of nearly 54% over the decade.

The article says a new study by researchers at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi found that India could prevent about 1.24 lakh early deaths every year if coal power plants properly controlled sulphur emissions.

The report says Gurgaon’s PM2.5 pollution levels dropped by nearly 54% between 2015 and 2026, falling from about 198 to 92 micrograms per cubic metre. Most of the improvement happened before 2020, but progress has slowed sharply since then.

Road RADAR, a new pollution monitoring program in Delhi, will deploy 13 surveyors to pinpoint dust pollution sources on the city's 18,000km road network.

A new study by IIT Delhi’s Centre for Atmospheric Sciences shows that limiting sulphur emissions across India could drastically improve air quality.

Ozone does not produce the haze associated with PM pollution. However, its public-health implications should not be downplayed.

A long-term study of air pollution data in Indian cities found that different pollutants rise and fall in different seasons. In Delhi, PM2.5 and PM10 levels are highest in winter, while ozone peaks in summer.

Over the years, January PM2.5 levels in Delhi have typically ranged well above safe limits, often crossing 150 micrograms per cubic metre, before dropping during monsoon.

For May, this was the lowest in three years, since May 31, 2023, when it was recorded at 85 (satisfactory), according to data from the Central Pollution Control Board

The study shows that air pollution in India changes with the seasons, and each pollutant behaves differently. Tiny particles like PM2.5 and PM10 are highest in winter, while gases like ozone and nitrogen dioxide tend to rise in summer.

An environmental group called Envirocatalysts has created a new online tool to help people track air pollution across India.

Study shows pollutants in Indian cities follow distinct seasonal patterns, highlighting the need for pollutant-specific tracking to tackle air pollution effectively.

A decade-long study on India's air quality reveals distinct seasonal patterns for various pollutants like PM2.5, NO2, and ozone.

Experts have looked at ten years of air quality data in India and found that different types of pollution peak at different times of the year.

Study of seasonal pollutant trends key to tackling air pollution: Data

Haryana has seen a massive increase in farmers burning wheat waste this April. According to official data, there were 1,565 fires recorded across the state—a 157% jump compared to the 608 cases seen during the same month last year.

Haryana has seen a sharp rise in farm fire incidents, with 338 cases reported in just seven days—the highest in five years.
