AQI of the city came under control
Some reduction in the amount of pollution in the city’s air was recorded on Monday. According to the data recorded on the online monitoring system of Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board, AQI remained poor on average in three major areas of the city. It was recorded at 300 in Collectorate area and 277 in TT Nagar. Both these areas remained in poor category. Whereas in the environmental complex, AQI has been recorded as Very Poor at 310. Here the amount of PM 2.5 was 132.74 and PM 10 was 185.08. According to experts, the main reason behind the reduction in the amount of PM 2.5 and PM 10 in the air was the reduction in dust and smoke. On Monday, due to the wind speed being around 10 to 12 km per hour in the city and surrounding areas, there was a reduction in dust and smoke, due to which it is natural to see a reduction in air pollution. Before this, the wind speed in the city remained between 8 to 10 km for the last four days, due to which the amount of pollution has increased.
