Noida Chokes: Air Quality Hits Severe Levels

Noida has endured 'severe' air quality for three consecutive days, with Monday's Air Quality Index (AQI) recorded at 410, making it the nation's most polluted city. Neighboring areas like Ghaziabad and Greater Noida are also experiencing 'very poor' to 'severe' pollution levels, as AQI readings consistently breach critical thresholds throughout December. All four monitoring stations within Noida reported unhealthy air, with one station in Sector 1 registering an alarming AQI of 451.

Meteorological conditions are exacerbating the pollution build-up. Light surface winds, dense fog, and clouding over the plains, linked to a western disturbance, are hindering the dispersal of pollutants. Weather experts predict that poor visibility will worsen during the late night and early morning, potentially impacting travel and urging motorists to exercise extreme caution.
