Richard Peltier said there is a good understanding that air pollution is "really quite bad" across India but precision is lacking due to the limited distribution of air pollution monitors.

With the ruling AAP government coming in the line of Opposition fire amid runaway pollution in the national capital, Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Tuesday said he has ordered the resumption of the functioning of the city's only smog tower.

Delhi and the Northern region of India is currently experiencing poor air quality. This calls for healthy food to boost immunity.

Delhi's air quality has deteriorated further and now stands closer to the "severe plus" category, a stage which might trigger the implementation of the odd-even car rationing measure in the capital.

Two experimental smog towers in the city have not been effective in reducing air pollution and the operation of these costly giant air purifiers lacks merit, the Delhi Smog Towers Not Effective In Reducing Air Pollution, Tribunal Told (DPCC) has told
