Mumbai Faces Unhealthy Air Quality Amid Pleasant Weather and Rising Pollution Levels

Mumbai has experienced fluctuating air quality levels recently, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) ranging from 118 to 286 across different days and locations. While weather conditions have been pleasant with clear skies and mild temperatures, particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) remains significantly above safe limits, contributing to unhealthy air quality. Local sources such as construction activities and vehicle emissions are cited as primary pollution drivers. Authorities and experts advise caution, especially for vulnerable groups, amid ongoing concerns about monitoring accuracy and rising pollution trends in several city areas.
