Delhi is still suffering in toxic air, and some scientists are trying to come up with a temporary fix to relieve the city of the smog. The air quality in the area has been staying at 500 recently, which is the worst-possible air quality on the AQI scale. The smog can even be seen from space, where NASA images show a thick, massive gray cloud coating all of northern India. It is actually a regular, yearly event where farmers burn the remains of their old crops to make space for new ones ahead of the planting season, and the smog is primarily coming from the states of Punjab and Haryana right now. The smoke from the fires mixes with the regular pollutants and chemicals in Delhi's air, leading to a hazardous smog that shrouds the city, and exposing yourself to this air can lead to extremely high risk of heart and lung disease. However, some scientists at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) have found a solution: cloud seeding. Cloud seeding is when a mix of salts are sprayed into moisture-full clouds to make them rain, but it is only a temporary fix and is very expensive. The process costs about $120,000 for 39 square miles, but scientists are planning to go through with it. The cloud seeding will take place on November 20, and will trigger some intense rain across Delhi to hopefully clear the air and bring the air quality back down to normal levels.
