According to the article, “Pollution making Delhi winter
days colder?” written by Amit Bhattacharya stated that the rising air pollution
might not just be a health issue but also a part of changing the weather.
Bhattacharya stated that for, smog and haze, all linked to atmospheric
pollution, causing temperatures during the day to drop and winter being colder
than it usually was. R K Jenamani, an office’s director-in-charge had written a
paper in 2007 on the link between pollution, fog and daytime temperatures in
the capital, stating that the falling trend in January’s average maximum
temperature is not only continued but actually had accelerated. In Jenamani’s
paper, he also stated that there was a strong correlation between low maximum
temperatures in Delhi’s winter, foggy days and high pollutions levels.
Bhattacharya also stated that air pollution could be increasing aerosols in the
air which becomes fog droplets and increased fog formation under the right
conditions. In which, daytime fog suppresses the maximum temperature output by
blocking the sunlight. According to Krishna AchutaRao, stated that "High
concentration of aerosols in the air would dim surface temperature by
decreasing the intensity of sunlight reaching the surface. This has been seen
across the globe."
This article is stating that because of air pollution the
weather in India had become colder. It also stated that there was a correlation
between the decreasing temperatures and the high pollution levels. The only
thing wrong with this article is that it didn’t state what the cause or problem
of air pollution in the area was. All it stated was because of high pollution
levels the temperatures started decreasing.
