Air Pollution in New Delhi

Introduction

Air quality in New Delhi changes with the seasons. Different types of pollution happen at different times of the year.

Main Body

Dust and small particles are high in winter from October to February. In summer, gases like ozone are high. Ozone increases in May because of the hot sun. Some pollution comes from cars and factories. Other pollution comes from dust and building work. We must stop the pollution at the start. In May, the air was clean for a short time. Rain and wind cleaned the air. Now, the air is becoming bad again because the wind and rain stopped.

Conclusion

The air is better now because of the weather. However, the city still needs a better plan to stop pollution.
