Air pollution in New Delhi mostly comprised of pollution from human activities. Delhi has more than 7.4 million vehicles on its roads, with an additional 1,200 added each day leading to the increase in emission of pollutants. Stubble burning by farmers in neighbouring states has also been a contributor to the city's misery.
