💨 Abstract

Delhi topped the global pollution charts on Friday, with a "very poor" air quality index (AQI) of 339, due to revellers using firecrackers during Diwali and stubble burning in nearby states. Despite a ban on firecrackers, Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai stated that pollution levels did not spike as expected. The air quality is expected to remain poor for the rest of the week.
