According to recent research, Delhi is the most polluted city in the world, and if the pollution levels continue, its citizens may lose 11.9 years of life.
1.3 billion people in India live in locations where the yearly average particle pollution level exceeds the 5 Î14g/m3 WHO standard, according to the Air Quality Life Index (AQLI) published by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago.
Additionally, it was shown that 67.4% of the population of the nation resides in regions where the national standard for air quality is higher than 40 Î14g/m3.
According to the study, compared to what it would be if the 5 Î14g/m3 pollution limit set by (WHO) were fulfilled, fine particle air pollution (PM2.5) reduces an average Indian’s life expectancy by 5.3 years.
According to the AQLI, Delhi is the most polluted city in the world, and if the current pollution levels continue, its 18 million citizens will lose an average of 11.9 years of life expectancy compared to the WHO limit and 8.5 years compared to the national standard.
Even in Pathankot in Punjab, the least polluted district in the area, particulate pollution is more than seven times the WHO limit, reducing life expectancy by 3.1 years if current levels persist, the report stated.
Although geology and meteorological factors worsen particulate pollution in the northern plains, the AQLI’s dust and sea salt-removed PM 2.5 data suggest that human activity plays a significant role in causing severe particulate pollution.
