Air quality in Delhi has improved: Economic Survey
As per the economic survey 2022-23, the number of good, satisfactory and moderate days increased to 197 in 2021 compared to 108 in 2016, and the number of poor, very poor and severe days decreased to 168 in 2021 against 246 in 2016.
“In 2021, nine months registered an improvement over 2017, with the maximum improvements seen in October (54%), May (50%) and September (48%). In 2021, average monthly air quality in Delhi declined in January (17%), February (15%) and March (1%) as compared to corresponding months in 2017, indicating an area of concern,” the survey said.
Creating a dedicated body for the National Capital Region (NCR) like the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM),has attributed to the improved air quality in Delhi, the survey said. Along with this, banning diesel and petrol vehicles older than 15 and 10 years respectively in NCR has also contributed to the improved air quality in the national capital and its adjoining areas, it added.
Air quality index (AQI) from 0-50 is considered as good, between 51 and 100 as satisfactory, 101 and 200 as moderate, 201 and 300 as poor, 301 and 400 as very poor, and over 400 as severe, as per Central Pollution Control Board (CBPC).
