Dearest Friends
In 2014, the World Health Organization released data on air quality levels in 1,600 cities around the world, and Delhi was found to have the highest concentration of particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers, also called PM 2.5.
These microscopic particles are dangerous because their small size allows them to penetrate deep into people's lungs. Scientific studies have linked these particles to aggravated asthma, weaker lungs and premature death resulting from heart and lung disease.
As the world's most polluted city attempts to improve its air quality, drivers in New Delhi will be hit with severe driving restrictions for the second time this year.
The measure, dubbed "odd-even," limits drivers to using their cars on alternate days. The city government first enacted the rule on a trial basis during the first two weeks of the year.
The scheme will return for another two-week period starting April 15.
Cities including Beijing and Mexico City have also restricted the use of cars in an effort to improve air quality.
Wish you a nice afternoon.
