l. 1. Read the passage given below.
A study based on real-time pollution data during the Covid-19 lockdown
this April helped Delhi get its baseline pollution levels -- the minimum
pollution when major polluting sources are shut. Now, with most
restrictions removed in a phased manner, the pandemic may be causing
deterioration of air pollution in the Capital.
Experts say that while the Covid-19 pandemic has resducted activities, il
has resulted in fewer people using public transport, leading to more use of
personal vehicles. More vehicles on road means more emissions, which,
coupled with poor dispersal due to slow wind speed, leads to higher
ambient air pollution levels.
According to the data by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, the ridership in
the past fortnight has been 78% of the number of people who took the
Metro during same period last year due to Covid restrictions. Even though
ridership is rising, a Metro spokesperson said that it would take some
months before the passenger level reaches pre-Covid levels.
Similarly, the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) has recorded a dip TT
daily bus ridership. Transport minister Kailash Gahlot had said last week
that there was about 54% dip in ridership due to Covid restrictions which
allows filling only half of the seats.
While several people are working from homes, traffic on Delhi roads is
rising. Data from Google's community mobility trends shows traffic on
Delhi roads was just 30% less than the pre-Covid period baseline of
January 3 to February 6, this year. In August, this dip was 67%, and in
April 80%
As only limited public transport was available, Delhi also witnessed a spike
in vehicle sales after Covid unlock guidelines were implemented from June​
