Air pollution is on the rise during this time of the year because of Diwali celebrations and stubble burning especially in North India. Plus, the arrival of winter leads to a drop in temperature, causing the fog to combine with the smoke, resulting in the formation of a less transparent, visible air pollutant i.e. smog. No doubt the air quality index is very severe in many places. Also Read - Heavy smog can give you respiratory problems: Tips to protect yourself from air pollution
