In comparison, 14 days ‘satisfying’ air day and one day ‘good’ air was recorded on August 2020.
In addition, last year during the same period, no ‘moderate’ day was recorded.
The four days ‘moderate’ have been reported in August so far.
According to the state pollution control board Haryana (HSPCB), low wind speed and local factors such as burning of garbage and dust from the construction site have contributed to the air quality setback in August this year.
Aqi between zeros and 50 is considered ‘good’, 51 and 100 ‘satisfying’, 101 and 200 ‘moderate’, 201 and 300 ‘poor’, 301 and 400 ‘very poor’, and 401 and 500 ‘severe’.
“We have watched ‘satisfying’ days in August in this region, which is a big problem.
The main reason is that there is no lock.
While the city receives rainfall this month, which clears pollutants from the air, local factors play a role It is important in trapping pollutants.
This deteriorated the air quality index, “said Secretary of the HSPCB Narayan members to Ti.
“This August, toxic gases from burning waste and dust from the construction site also contributed to air pollution in Gurugram.
We cannot deny the role of these factors while analyzing the city AQI,” he added.
Meanwhile, air quality is likely to increase in the coming days because the temperature in the region is expected to increase.
“We follow the suggestions made by the Air Quality Management Commission (CMAQ) regarding monitoring combustion of plant residues.
We hope things will improve in the coming winter,” he added.
On Sunday, the entire city of the city stood at 82.

Independent experts showed that ozone was also a problem that appeared in Gurugram .
Sachin Panwar, an independent air quality scientist based in the city, said, “Ozone is just a summer problem and is not a problem during the Monsoon months.
It is now well understood that Sunshine plays an important role in triggering a photocimia reaction between the gas to form ozone and usually It is hoped that ozone is a bigger problem in the summer.
But the problem seems quite uniform spread in season.
Thus, this has deteriorated AQI in the city.
