Delhi Air Pollution: The Scientific Reality with Dr Sachin D. Ghude | EP4

Delhi AQI today has crossed severe levels, and in this episode a scientist explains the real causes behind Delhi’s air pollution, the myths, and what actually works to fix it. Disclaimer: This episode was recorded in August, prior to the most recent developments on this issue. Delhi’s AQI today has entered severe levels across multiple parts of the city, triggering GRAP alerts, public worry, and even protests at India Gate. But behind the panic and headlines, there’s a clear scientific chain that explains why this happens every winter. In this episode, we break down that science with Dr Sachin D. Ghude, a leading researcher in aerosol and air-quality modelling. We discuss how stubble smoke moves into Delhi like a “river”, why winter temperature inversion traps pollution close to the ground, how Bengaluru’s elevation and winds keep its AQI lower, and what actually contributes to PM2.5 levels both inside and outside NCR. We also talk about the limits of cloud seeding, why smog towers can’t clean a 1-km smog layer, whether EVs genuinely reduce air pollution, and what N95 masks really filter. If you want a calm, science-backed explanation of Delhi’s air pollution—beyond fear, outrage, or noise—this episode gives you clarity, context, and the scientific reality behind the AQI. 02:52 – Why Delhi’s AQI Is Suddenly Out of Control 05:10 – The Hidden Science of Delhi’s Winter Smog 11:45 – How Stubble Smoke Actually Reaches Delhi 16:20 – Why Bengaluru Breathes Easy (and Delhi Doesn’t) 20:40 – Are AQI Numbers Misleading Us? 25:55 – What No One Tells You About Inversion Layers 31:12 – Why Cloud Seeding & Smog Towers Don’t Work 37:30 – What Really Causes Most of Delhi’s Pollution 44:15 – How Toxic Air Damages Your Body Every Day 52:05 – Masks, EVs & Short-Term Fixes That Actually Help 58:40 – Long-Term Solutions for Delhi’s Air Crisis 01:02:10 – Final Thoughts: The Reality We Must Accept Reference Materials: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/c... https://www.thehindu.com/news/nationa... https://www.aqi.in/dashboard/india https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-... https://indianexpress.com/article/cit... https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c78...    • Delhi's Air Pollution: Smog Now Killing Mo...      • Delhi Air Quality: Court Flags Air Quality...      • Delhi Gasps as Diwali Smog Turns Deadly — ...   #delhiaqi , #delhiairpollution , #delhipollutionnews , #DelhiChokes, #delhismog , #airquality , #airpollution , #airpollutionindia , #CleanAirDelhi, #AQICrisis, #AirQualityIndia, #PollutionReality, #IndiaGateProtest, #helpusbreathe
