Delhi in 2nd spot with highest PM 2.5 level
Delhi and most of the other non-attainment cities under the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP)have shown only a marginal improvement, said a new analysis released on Monday.
Some of the cities have even recorded an increase in particulate matter (PM) levels, it said. Cities are declared non-attainment if they consistently fail to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) over a five-year period.
The Centre’s NCAP was implemented across India in 2019 to reduce particulate matter levels in 132 cities by 20-30% in 2024.
