Delhi’s schools to reopen next week, parents wary of hazardous air 0 SHARES Share it! By Monday, Delhi’s air quality would likely remain “very poor”, SAFAR said, indicating prolonged exposure could lead to respiratory illness. For 32-year old Shamin Qureshi and his 10-year old daughter Akshara, a challenging week lies ahead. The air quality index measured by the U.S. embassy in New Delhi surpassed 500 on Friday, which reflects conditions that could cause more serious health effects for everyone. Every month, Qureshi spends $50, nearly a quarter of his monthly salary, on multiple visits to the hospital for his daughter’s medical review.
