The World Health Organization reports that New Delhi's air quality has deteriorated to hazardous levels, with PM2.5 concentrations exceeding 300 μg/m³, per ft.com.
Local authorities have declared a public health emergency, urging residents to stay indoors and wear N95 masks as pollution levels spike, according to reuters.com.
The smog is linked to increased emissions from diesel vehicles, construction dust, and seasonal crop burning in neighboring states, reports nytimes.com.

E3 · E7 · E14E14 places every story on a stack of fifteen floors, from the fields under everything to the planet acting as one. This one sits on E3, chemistry; the pressure it names: air pollution. Its words also reach E7 ecosystems and E14 global.
Here it is a dynamic between chemistry, ecosystems and the planet as a whole: PM2.5 concentrations, N95 masks, diesel vehicles and construction dust (E3 chemistry), with air quality, public health emergency and seasonal crop burning (E7 ecosystems), and World Health Organization (E14 global).
The floor of chemistry: what is in the air and ground. In this briefing: PM2.5 concentrations, N95 masks, diesel vehicles, construction dust.
The floor of weather and living systems. In this briefing: air quality, public health emergency, seasonal crop burning.
