Poluição atmosférica em Deli atinge níveis extremamente graves

By Jordi Bou

November 18, 2024 - Dezenas de milhões de habitantes da capital da Índia, Deli, estão imersos num manto de poluição tóxica, cujo agravamento obrigou a reduzir o tráfego de camiões e a encerrar estaleiros de construção e escolas.

The city’s air quality index score touched 1,758 at 12:30PM local time on Nov 18, according to IQAir, which collects global pollution data. A level below 101 is considered acceptable, and scores above 300 are regarded as hazardous.

The concentration of PM2.5 – particulate matter measuring 2.5 microns or less in diameter that can be carried into lungs, causing deadly diseases and cardiac issues – was 130.9 times the World Health Organisation's recommended levels.

Pakistan has also faced record levels of smog over the past week and seen officials take actions, including the closure of schools.
