AQI remains ‘ very poor’
And though the AQI improved from Saturday’s 336, it continued to remain in the ‘very poor’ category at 319. According to the SAFAR forecast, for the next three days, the upper-level winds are from the northwest direction, which is likely to increase the transport of pollutants from the stubble burning region if fire counts increase.
The AQI is likely to be within ‘very poor’ for the next three days due to the net effect of transport, local emissions, and efficiency of dispersion and ventilation.
