(Click left or right arrow to see more) 

The air quality index in India's capital Delhi fell to the "severe" and "hazardous" levels on Thursday. This is due to a combination of factors including dust, weather patterns, vehicle and industry emissions, and smoke from the burning of crop stubble in neighboring states.
