What India looks like when the air turns to poison

In New Delhi, the capital of India, the air has turned into a steady fog that makes it hard for residents to breath. Farmers in the northern half of India have begun burning crops to start a new harvest. Unfortunately, the smoke has drifted towards New Delhi which makes the already polluted city far worse. The air is not heavily made up of smoke, vehicle emissions, and construction dust. The condition of the city has gotten so bad that the country has declared a public health emergency to ensure the safety of all residents. Officials of New Delhi have started restricting the use of private vehicles to help eliminate the amount of pollution in the air.
