#AceDailyNews says heres the UPDATED: First draft of #COP26 climate deal is released: The seven-page document is the first version of the agreement that will outline how countries plan to cut emissions and keep global warming below 1.5°C…….This draft text isn’t the end of the story yet in Glasgow but it marks the beginning of the end for the summit.

In its latest order, the panel said there was a “compelling” need to ensure that air quality did not deteriorate any further.

Pollution levels surged to “severe” levels this month, with the Air Quality Index in New Delhi going as high as 499 on a scale of 500, indicating healthy people were also at risk of developing respiratory illnesses.

Supreme Court calls out governments on pollution mitigation 

Delhi, among the world’s most polluted capital cities, battles chronic winter smog every year as a drop in temperatures traps deadly pollutants from coal-fired plants outside the city, fumes from vehicles and the open burning of garbage.

The Delhi government on Saturday said schools would be shut for a week, but the Commission for Air Quality Management has extended the closure indefinitely.

The Commission also said at least 50 per cent of government employees should work from home until November 21.

The measures follow a Supreme Court order earlier this week asking the commission to suggest measures to cut pollution.

The court also rapped the federal and local area governments over their failure to mitigate pollution in the city of 20 million people, who endure toxic air almost every winter.

India’s efforts to reduce the burning of crop waste, a major source of air pollution during winter, have had little benefit, despite its expenditure of billions of rupees over the past four years.

Hospitals seeing more respiratory patients  

Hospitals in the capital reported a spike in the number of patients with respiratory ailments being admitted following the increased air pollution. 

Dr Bobby Bhalotra, the vice-chairman of the department of chest medicine at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, said along with patients with pre-existing respiratory conditions, they were seeing a number of post-COVID recovering patients.

New Delhi’s worsening smog has brought with it a surge in the concentration of fine particulate matter known as PM2.5, which is small enough to enter the blood stream when inhaled into the lungs.
