Capital's air quality improves

New Delhi: Delhi's air quality improved slightly a day after it slipped into the 'poor' category due to a dust storm that originated from the Arabian peninsula, authorities said on Saturday. Last week, the air quality became 'good' for the first this year. But after a dust storm from Oman, the air quality index slipped to 'poor' category, an official with the Central Pollution Control Board said.

But as the dust started subsided, the air quality improved and has now come under 'moderate' category, he said.

The air quality index (AQI) was recorded at 195, which falls under the 'moderate' category as per the Central Pollution Control Board

(CPCB) data.
