The deterioration of the air quality of UP cities continued for the second consecutive day.
The pollution levels of other UP cities which were in the ‘moderate’ category until two days back, also experienced a dip in air quality — Greater Noida (281), Noida (241), Varanasi (263), Kanpur (222) and Lucknow (214).
“The pollution levels will rise more over the next few days due to a drop in temperature and fog formation. The air quality of UP cities has turned poor due to a fall in minimum temperatures by a degree or so,” said director of climate and air quality monitoring station Dhruvsen Singh.
