That has to be an artefact, air pollution is measured near ground level so it shows up on the charts. I can't imagine that crackers contribute much to the general problem.
I heard that the air pollution is so extreme in some cities that it's comparable to running a car inside a closed garage. I was told it also smells and tastes just like it. I have no trouble believing it, just look at this [1] google image search.

- 0xmohit 10y agoNot as bad as in the link you've posted, but several cities in India are extremely polluted. State transport buses, majority of private commercial vehicles, fascination of diesel vehicles (particularly SUVs) contribute a lot. Standing on a busy road for half an hour might be equivalent to smoking a pack of Marlboro, if not worse.
