Let's come together to stop burning crackers. We can not only help children and old people but we can help animals also. People come down with all sorts of respiratory problems such as asthma and bronchitis. Air and noise pollution are also the side effects of firecrackers. Delhi was shrouded in dense smog as pollution levels spiked massively in different parts of the city oursday morning, making it the most polluted day of the season so far.
Anand Vihar recorded PM 2.5 (fine, respirable pollution particles) levels of over 500 micrograms per cubic metre between 5am and 11.30am, more than eight ti mes the safe limit. Both R K Puram and Mandir Marg recorded PM 2.5 levels at more than 250 micrograms during the same hours. So stop using firecrackers to help yourself and others. Best wishes on Diwali 2016.
I pledge today to restrict firecracker.
Don't go for instant gratification, with fireworks. Think big, do your bit to reduce pollution in Delhi.
