Summary

Description
English: Air quality data for Delhi in 2015, from August 1 to December 31.

X-axis: dates

Y-axis: light green is PM10 data; dark green is PM2.5 data; all measured in Delhi.

Sources: [1] Location wise daily Ambient Air Quality of Delhi for the year 2015, A.B. Akolkar, Ministry of Environment and Forests, Central Pollution Control Board, Government of India (2018); [2] The safety threshold data is based on Air Quality Data standards, U.S. Embassy & Consulates in India.

Diwali has been proposed as a possible contributor to air pollution because it is celebrated using firecrackers. In 2015, the main Diwali was observed on November 11, the 5-day festival was over November 9 to 13 (orange). The data suggest that the air quality was unhealthy many weeks before and after the festival. Other causes of poor air quality in Delhi include the seasonable burning of crop stocks in neighboring regions such as Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, as well as the inefficient combustion of cow dung cakes and waste as cooking fuel.
