Scientists from Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune and IMD have predicted that pollution from firecrackers this Diwali (Nov 13) would be about 10 percent less than last year.
According to SAFAR, the level of particles -- which pose the largest health risk -- would start to build-up rapidly from the midnight Nov 14 and would continue to rise till Nov 15 early morning before retreating.
