[Delhi has declared a public emergency
as toxic smog continues to
engulf the city, threatening residents
with concentrations of dust 12 times
the acceptable level.

The government plans to use fire trucks
and water cannons, normally used for
riot control, to spray water across the
city as a last-ditch attempt to clear
the thick haze,
an environment ministry official revealed.

Residents complained of headaches,
coughs and difficulty breathing and have
been donning specialised masks to
protect against the fumes,
which have been caused by
construction dust,
vehicle emissions and the
burning of crops.]


The Spraying of Water in the Air
has helped a bit.
