The increasing pollution in Delhi-NCR has become a serious problem. You can understand how serious the pollution in the air here is from the fact that even if you do not smoke here, you are breathing in pollution equivalent to many cigarettes. One of the major reasons for the pollution in the air of Delhi-NCR is the burning of stubble by the farmers of Punjab-Haryana. In such a situation, let us know how much role stubble plays in increasing the pollution level of Delhi-NCR.
What happens by burning stubble?
Burning stubble releases many harmful substances like carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide in the air. These substances can cause breathing problems, eye irritation, and many other diseases. Apart from this, burning stubble reduces the fertility of the soil and also contributes to climate change.
Being close to Delhi-NCR, the stubble burning in haryana and punjab has a direct impact on air pollution. During the winter season, when the wind speed is low, the smoke from the stubble covers the skies of Delhi-NCR, increasing the level of air pollution a lot. This pollution causes breathing problems, asthma, and other health problems. In such a situation, stubble contributes to poisoning the air of Delhi-NCR, but burning stubble is not entirely responsible for the increasing pollution in Delhi-NCR.
Why is pollution increasing in Delhi-NCR?
Experts believe that the biggest reason for pollution in delhi is its geographical location. Which causes pollution here. Along with this, with the change in weather, the height of the atmospheric boundary also decreases. The risk of pollution also increases due to the reduction in area. Delhi's own pollution is also the reason for this. Lakhs of vehicles run in this city, factories as well as construction work is done on a large scale, while stubble gets added to it.
