Winter Air Pollution Hits Hyderabad, AQI Turns Unhealthy

Hyderabad’s air quality has worsened, reaching an AQI of 180 due to winter. Nighttime temperature drops cause a temperature inversion, trapping smoke, vehicle emissions, and pollutants near the ground. Rapid city growth, traffic, and industries add to pollution. Early mornings are most harmful until sunlight clears the smog.
