Mumbai, October 16: With the withdrawal of monsoons from Mumbai, the air quality in Mumbai will also suffer. According to a Times of India report, a gradual increase in pollution level has been recorded as the city didn't receive any rainfall last week.
On Wednesday, for the first time in four months, an AQI of 111 was recorded which is in the moderate category. During the monsoon period this year, AQI was below 55, as rains washed away the air pollutants. In September, AQI was recorded at 43.
