New Delhi: This
Children's Day Wednesday would witness the extreme pollution day
of this year, scientists from the Indian Institute of Tropical
Meteorology, Pune and Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)
forecast Tuesday.
"After the first extreme pollution day Nov 9, Delhi will witness a
more severe pollution day Wednesday," said a statement issued here
by SAFAR (System of Air quality Forecasting and Research).
Scientists from Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune and
IMD have predicted that pollution from firecrackers this Diwali
(Nov 13) would be about 10 percent less than last year.
According to SAFAR, the level of particles -- which pose the
largest health risk -- would start to build-up rapidly from the
midnight Nov 14 and would continue to rise till Nov 15 early
morning before retreating.
