They can't even tell what work they have done so far to combat it. Today, a report has come that stubble burning is only responsible for 10% of pollution, then what about the remaining 90%." Goel further stated, "They have exempted two-wheelers vehicles which were the major cause of pollution in Delhi. They are doing politics over the Odd-Even scheme." केजरीवाल मेरे पत्र का जवाब दें और दिल्ली की जनता को बताएं की उन्होंने प्रदूषण पर विज्ञापनों में पैसा फूंकने के अलावा प्रदूषण पर क्या-क्या कदम उठाये हैं?#KejriwalMustResign — Vijay Goel (@VijayGoelBJP) November 7, 2019 READ | Delhi Air Quality Improves To 'poor' Category; Schools Reopen Kejriwal's claim debunked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday evening claimed that the level of PM (Particulate Matter) 2.5 in the city was 39 and that of PM 10 was 96 at 2 pm. Air quality number in the range of 0 to 50 is considered as "good" while anything between 51 to 100 is "satisfactory". However, when fact-checked, the claim stood busted. At 2 pm today, PM 2.5 - 39 PM 10 - 96 I am glad pollution is coming down. We have to keep up our efforts so that coming days do not see any spike. Grateful to everyone whoever made efforts to reduce it. — Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) November 6, 2019 READ | Rishi Kapoor's Tweet About 'love' & Delhi's Air Pollution Is Spot-on According to data available on the National Air Quality Index According to the data available on the National Air Quality Index, the level of PM 2.5 at Anand Vihar was 333 (Very Poor category) while that of PM 10 was 217 at 2 pm. In the north-east suburb of Sonia Vihar, PM 2.5 was recorded at 253 while PM 10 was 164. Nehru Nagar had a PM 2.5 level of 170 while PM 10 was recorded at 168. Dwarka-Sector 8 had a PM 2.5 level of 107 while PM 10 was 267. At Lodhi Road, PM 2.5 was recorded at 124 and the level of PM 10 particles was 82. National Air Quality Index is maintained by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPBC) of the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. Hence, if going by the data put out by the principal air quality monitoring agency, then CM Kejriwal's claim of a cleaner air falls flat. Delhi, nonetheless, had its second consecutive day of cleaner air. After an extended bout of hazardous levels of pollution, air quality in the national capital and its adjoining areas on Wednesday improved to the ‘poor' category due to the positive influence of high-speed winds.
