Air Quality Deteriorates; Patna Among Most Polluted
Air quality in at least three cities, including Patna, remained in the ‘poor’ category over the last 24 hours. Experts warn that pollutant particles remain trapped in the lower atmosphere during winter, leading to degraded air quality. Residents have been advised to wear masks while outdoors, especially during morning and evening hours, and to take extra precautions for children and the elderly.
