Indian capital world’s most polluted: Diwali fireworks add to already toxic smog
Air pollution in India’s capital city reached ‘hazardous’ levels on Friday after a fireworks ban was largely ignored during the Hindu festival of lights.
New Delhi frequently tops the list of the world’s most polluted cities. It’s blanketed in cancer-causing smog each year.
But its cars and stubble burning remain the main causes of its pollution.
