Air quality sinks to ‘severe’ in haze-shrouded New Delhi 0 SHARES Share it! The air quality index exceeded 400, considered “severe” and about eight times the recommended maximum, according to the state-run Central Pollution Control Board. Air pollution in northern India peaks in the winter due to smoke from agricultural fires. Some residents say the pollution is so bad that it should be the most important issue for the government. India’s top court last week asked the city government, its neighboring states and the federal government to work together to improve air quality.
