In the last 24 hours, we have noticed, and this is the general trend across four months since we began this channel, the pollution in this area is most between 7am and 9am. Clearly, it’s vehicular pollution during peak hours that’s causing it, among other reasons.
Thanks to the Sankranti festival yesterday, the pollution fell below 100 on the Air Quality Index (classified as ‘safe’) from 11am to 7pm. From 8pm, the pollution steadily rose again to peak at 7am today with an AQI of 182.
The least polluted times are usually in the afternoons between 1pm and 4pm when you can keep your doors and windows open for atleast 10 minutes to let in the pure air to detoxify your homes.
