In November 2017, in an event known as the Great smog of Delhi, the air pollution spiked far beyond acceptable levels. Levels of PM2.5 and PM 10 particulate matter hit 999 micrograms per cubic meter, while the safe limits for those pollutants are 60 and 100 respectively.

The air quality in Delhi, the capital of India, according to a WHO survey of 1600 world cities, is the worst of any major city in the world.[1][2] Two other cities in India have worse air quality than Delhi: Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, and Raipur in Chhattisgarh.[1]
The chemical composition of PM2.5 has contributions from all the other gaseous components. For example, SO2 shows up as sulfate aerosols, NOx shows up as nitrate aerosols, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) after undergoing a series of chemical reactions with ozone, NOx, and CO, shows up as secondary organic aerosols (SOA).
Delhi’s AQI slipped to ‘very poor’ category once again after a slight improvement on Sunday after wind speeds had picked up marginally.
The national capital’s Air Quality Index (AQI) continued to be ‘very poor’ on Monday with an average reading of 318 of PM (particulate matter) 2.5 at 9 am, according to data of System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR).

The air quality was recorded the worst in Dwarka at 361 followed by Narela at 300.

Delhi’s AQI slipped to ‘very poor’ category once again after a slight improvement on Sunday after wind speeds had picked up marginally. An AQI between 0 and 50 is considered “good”, 51 and 100 “satisfactory”, 101 and 200 “moderate”, 201 and 300 “poor”, 301 and 400 “very poor”, and 401 and 500 “severe”.
