印度旁遮普邦和哈里亚纳邦的晚期作物燃烧加剧了冬季空气污染,损害了德里的空气质量。 Late crop burning in India’s Punjab and Haryana worsens winter air pollution, harming Delhi’s air quality.

根据美国航天局和卫星数据,在2025年,印度北部旁遮普邦和哈里亚纳邦地区的作物残留物燃烧在下午4时至6时之间越来越多地发生,晚于传统的早午高峰时间。 In 2025, crop residue burning in northern India’s Punjab and Haryana regions increasingly occurs between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., later than the traditional early afternoon peak, according to NASA and satellite data. 这一转变是从韩国GEO-KOMPSAT-2A的高频监测中检测到的,它挑战了诸如MODIS和VIIRS等年老的卫星系统,这些系统每天只经过一两次,可能会漏掉晚期火灾。 This shift, detected by high-frequency monitoring from South Korea’s GEO-KOMPSAT-2A, challenges older satellite systems like MODIS and VIIRS that pass over only once or twice daily, potentially missing late fires. 虽然总体火灾活动温和,但10月和11月的污染激增导致德里和周边地区空气质量出现危险,促使学校关闭和建筑禁令的颁布。 Though overall fire activity was moderate, pollution spikes in October and November led to hazardous air quality in Delhi and surrounding areas, prompting school closures and construction bans. 科学家认为,由于风力较弱和夜间大气层较浅,晚烧会加剧污染的积累,在高峰日燃烧的碎块造成70%的污染,尽管其总份额仍在辩论之中。 Scientists suggest late burns worsen pollution buildup due to weaker winds and a shallower atmospheric layer at night, with stubble burning contributing up to 70% of pollution on peak days, though its overall share remains debated.
