Delhi’s polluted air may force Obama to stay indoors

Amid
reports that the US may curb President Barack Obama's early morning schedule
during his visit to Delhi later this month, air pollution monitoring agencies
said the levels of 'PM2.5' or fine, respirable particles that get lodged in the
lungs are likely to be in the range of moderate to high in the period while
he's here. Air quality, because of the high pollution in the city, is routinely
rated by the US embassy pollution monitor as "poor" — in other words,
unhealthy. It's in that context there is speculation that the US authorities
here could seek to curtail Obama's "outdoor activities" during his
visit.
