As per news report of NDTV, Delhi's air quality index or AQI stands at 426 as a result of farm fires in the neighbouring states and vehicular emissions. Unfavourable meteorological conditions have also contributed to pollution in the national capital. The air quality index (AQI) between 401 and 500 is categorised as severe, the worst band on the index. As Delhi is forced to breathe the toxic air, several residents have reported breathing difficulties, with the elderly and schoolchildren being the worst hit. Medical experts say prolonged exposure to toxic air, especially during the morning, can lead to serious health problems.
