Before countries like India can truly move forward, they need to make their air breathable.

Delhi chokes as pollution rises to severe levels

Delhi is officially recording AQI levels higher than 400, but many suspect that the real levels are much higher. According to the WHO, an AQI level above 50 is unhealthy to live in.

In India an AQI between 200 and 300 is considered “poor”, between 300 and 400 is “very poor”, and beyond 400 is “severe” for health.

For the World Health Organization (WHO), any AQI level above 50 is considered unhealthy.

The AQI remained above 400 on Wednesday as well and has been recording above 200 daily since mid-October.

Unofficial sources claim AQI levels in Delhi are even higher, with allegations emerging that the government is trying to manipulate and suppress the actual figures to avoid accountability.
