The air quality is likely to be affected due to low wind speed during the night hours and northwesterly winds. The overall Air Quality Index (AQI) of the national capital was recorded at 171 on Wednesday.
VK Soni, head of environment and research centre, India Meteorological Department, said, “The air quality is predicted to deteriorate marginally to the higher-end of moderate category on Thursday and may touch the ‘poor’ mark on Friday. As the wind has slowed down during night hours, it is not allowing dispersion of pollutants. Besides, the wind direction is predicted to change to northwesterly on Thursday. tnn
