&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Delhi air was cleaner on Diwali eve in 2021 than it was in 2019 and 2020. Things went downhill rapidly.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Delhi woke up to one of its most polluted mornings this year after Diwali, according to Air Quality Index (AQI) data, with farm fires in Punjab and Haryana, and the use of fireworks on Diwali night (Thursday) contributing to the spike.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;To be sure, AQI is not the best metric for comparison if data for all pollutants is not available. This is because AQI is simply the highest among the sub-indices for different pollutants. If the data for one or more significant pollutants is not available, we might just be looking at the highest sub-index among available data. Still, on the basis of available data, two things are clear: this was among the most polluted Diwalis in Delhi and fireworks are not the only cause for the spike in pollution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;HT analysed hourly PM 2.5 concentration levels and wind speed and the number of farm fires per day from three days before Diwali for 2019 (October 27), 2020 (November 14) and 2021 (November 4) to reach this conclusion. The analysis is based on data from five monitoring stations &amp;ndash; Aya Nagar station of the India Meteorological Department, and the Najafgarh, Narela, Punjabi Bagh, and Sri Aurobindo Marg stations of the Delhi Pollution Control Committee &amp;ndash; which have hourly data for all three years.&lt;/p&gt;

An hour-by-hour account of how Delhi’s air quality tanked on Diwali -Abhishek Jha

-Hindustan Times Delhi air was cleaner on Diwali eve in 2021 than it was in 2019 and 2020. Things went downhill rapidly. Delhi woke up to one of its most polluted mornings this year after Diwali, according to Air Quality Index (AQI) data, with farm fires in Punjab and Haryana, and the use of fireworks on Diwali night (Thursday) contributing to the spike. To be sure, AQI is not the best metric for comparison if data for all pollutants is not available. This is because AQI is simply the highest among the sub-indices for different pollutants. If the data for one or more significant pollutants is not available, we might just be looking at the highest sub-index among available data. Still, on the basis of available data, two things are clear: this was among the most polluted Diwalis in Delhi and fireworks are not the only cause for the spike in pollution. HT analysed hourly PM 2.5 concentration levels and wind speed and the number of farm fires per day from three days before Diwali for 2019 (October 27), 2020 (November 14) and 2021 (November 4) to reach this conclusion. The analysis is based on data from five monitoring stations – Aya Nagar station of the India Meteorological Department, and the Najafgarh, Narela, Punjabi Bagh, and Sri Aurobindo Marg stations of the Delhi Pollution Control Committee – which have hourly data for all three years.
