Delhi’s PM 2.5 average now 17 times new safe limit

Delhi’s annual PM 2.5 average for last year is around 17 times the new WHO-recommended safe annual limit. The revised WHO guidelines make it tougher for Delhi to meet global standards, and experts wish for a revision of the Indian standards for PM 2.5 too, which is currently eight times the annual WHO limit at 40 micrograms per cubic metre.
