The online survey conducted by citizen engagement platform LocalCircles, and reported by PTI on Saturday, 25 October, found that three out of four households in Delhi-NCR are experiencing health issues such as sore throats, coughing, burning eyes, headaches, and disrupted sleep.

This is more than three times the pre-Diwali level of 156.6 micrograms per cubic meter.
