PM2.5 refers to fine particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter which can penetrate deep into lungs, impairing their function, and even the bloodstream.
Shashi Tharoor said that air quality is not a class issue but a mass issue and politicians should not ignore it as the poor are the biggest victims of smog and air pollution.
India is currently under the biggest lockdown with around 1.3 billion people asked to stay home in view of the coronavirus outbreak.

The maximum temperature on Wednesday was recorded at 21.3 degrees Celsius, a notch above the season's average.
In view of the city's severe air quality, authorities have advised people to minimise outdoor activities and avoid use of private vehicles.
Not only does your hair and skin take a beating this season, but with pollution in the air it adds to the damage. Experts offer advice
