“At this rate, the Capital will be gasping for breath by 2021”

Delhi's air quality is worsening and if urgent action is not taken we will have a serious problem at hand, warns Centre for Science and Environment's latest report card. “The summer of 2012 is a grim reminder of the severe and worsening multi-pollutant crisis. CSE's analysis of the official air quality data shows that ozone, the new predator in town, has exceeded standards on all days in May and most days in April this year in areas including Civil Lines and the airport and on 80 per cent days in residential colonies including R. K. Puram,” notes the report.
