Air Pollution: Before and after Diwali pictures of Delhi floods internet
New Delhi : The air quality in Delhi went from poor to very poor with people blowing crackers to celebrate Diwali in the national capital and nearby regions.
Several users on social media flooded pictures of the national capital showcasing the difference in air quality before and after Diwali celebrations.
Since Monday, the air quality in the national capital has entered the "severe" category -- the second worst level in terms of pollution. According to news agency IANS, stubble burning extended the toxic air quality in Delhi for the third day as persisting calm surface winds prevented dispersion of pollutants.
"Toxic haze all over," wrote one Twitter user, sharing a picture which shows a blanket of white over the city.

The air quantity index, which takes into account five chief pollutants including PM10 and PM2.5, was recorded at 416 towards noon on Wednesday, according to the Central Pollution Control Board.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has requested the governments in Punjab and Haryana to completely ban stubble burning. The government will start distributing 50 lakh N95 masks among school students in Delhi from Friday, he added.
