People in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, have got relief after pollution levels declined following Diwali. The city’s Air Quality Index (AQI) has fallen to 74, which falls in the satisfactory category. After fireworks, the pollution level had risen above 140.
On Diwali night, smoke from firecrackers and fireworks had affected air quality. As a result, pollution levels in the city had increased compared with normal days. However, after the festival, an improvement in air quality was recorded and the AQI declined.
This time, the pollution level in Jhansi after Diwali remained lower than during the previous Diwali. The situation is a relief, as smoke released from firecrackers during the festival increases the amount of pollutants in the air.
According to experts, limited use of firecrackers and pollution-control measures are necessary to maintain air quality.
