Delhi’s air cleaner than Mumbai’s post winter claims study
Correspondent :
According to a study, post winter, Mumbai has been breathing air which is poorer in quality than Delhi, which is one of the most polluted cities in the world.

In Mumbai, microscopic pollutants in the air that can easily enter our lungs and cause health ailments were much above permissible limits found in the study by the System of Air Quality Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR).

SAFAR compared air quality levels of three cities from February to March 13 and found Mumbai to have 20% ‘very poor’ air days, while Delhi and Pune had none. What’s worse, while Delhi and Pune had 40% and 47% ‘satisfactory’ air quality days, Mumbai only had 13%.

“Between February and March, Mumbai had more ‘poor’ and ‘very poor’ days and less ‘satisfactory’ air days. Delhi and Pune did not have any ‘very poor’ days with cleaner air than Mumbai,” read the conclusion of the study. Researchers from SAFAR said there was an improvement in Delhi’s air pollution during the two months; high air pollution in Mumbai was a matter of concern.
