Delhi faces worsening air quality as AQI reaches 309 in the 'very poor' category, with forecasts predicting 'severe' levels by Tuesday. PM2.5 levels at 155 μg/m³ pose significant health risks as wind speeds below 8 km/h impair pollutant dispersion. Officials warn of respiratory discomfort for vulnerable populations as the capital remains shrouded in dense haze.
