The condition of air pollution in India is not hidden from anyone. But now a shocking revelation has come to light regarding this. Actually, according to the Lancet report released on Thursday, 7 out of every 100 deaths in 10 big cities of India are due to poisonous air.
It has been clearly stated that 7% of deaths are caused only by air pollution. At present, important steps need to be taken to save the lives of 10,000 people in India. According to large-scale research, the condition of lungs in Delhi and other big cities is very bad due to air pollution. This can prove to be very dangerous in the coming times.
What does the Lancet report say
In this report, 36 lakh reports were studied in detail in which it was found that the level of PM 2.5 microparticles was studied in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Mumbai, Shimla and Varanasi. This particle is considered to be the biggest culprit for cancer.
Report of ‘World Health Organization’
According to the report published in the research, at least 33 thousand people died due to PM 2.5 between 2008-2019. The death rate in these cities is 7-2 percent. According to the scientist, about 36 lakh deaths in these cities were analyzed. According to the ‘World Health Organization’, the cubic meter of PM 2.5 particle is 15 micrograms.
In India, its level has been kept at 60 micrograms per cubic meter which is four times the WHO recommendation. The number of deaths in Delhi is the highest and is dangerous. In Delhi, about 12 thousand or 11.5 percent people die every year due to air pollution. According to last year’s data, Delhi was declared one of the most polluted cities in the world.
Level of air pollution in these cities
This report also revealed that the level of air pollution is not that dangerous. The number of deaths due to PM 2.5 was very high in Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai as well. Due to pollution, 2,495 people died in Ahmedabad, 2,102 in Bengaluru, 2,870 in Chennai, 11,964 in Delhi, 1,597 in Hyderabad, 4,678 in Kolkata, 5,091 in Mumbai, 1,367 in Pune, 59 in Shimla and 831 in Varanasi.
Developed countries are not worried about the dangers of air pollution. The governments of these developing countries need to control air pollution. According to research by Harvard University, reducing the level of PM 2.5 and reducing the limit can save lives every year.
