As a country close to India, Sri Lanka is also adversely affected by this.
If it continues in this way, due to human activities, it is inevitable that the air pollution of this world will become unfit for human habitation.
Last year, all but one of the world's 100 most polluted cities were in Asia.
The vast majority of these cities, 83 cities, were located in India and all of them exceeded the World Health Organization's air quality guidelines by ten times, illustrating the extent of the devastation.
"We see air pollution impacting every part of our lives," said IQAir Global CEO Frank Hammes. On average, he claims, in some countries with the most polluted air, people's lives will be shortened by between three and six years.
Across India, 1.3 billion people, or 96% of the population, live in polluted air that is seven times higher than WHO guidelines, the report said.
Central and South Asia was the performing region with the worst air pollution globally, with all four of the most polluted countries last year.
These are India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Tajikistan. The most polluted city in the world is reported to be "Begusarai" city in the state of Bihar in northern India, where about five hundred thousand people live. The air pollution in this city is 23 times more than the recommended air quality value of the World Health Organization. In addition, Pakistan's Lahore is the 5th worst city in the world in terms of air pollution, and the Indian capital Delhi is ranked 6th.
Indian rulers also do not seem to be putting enough emphasis on environmental pollution if they are chasing economic development.
An inevitable result of this is that millions of people die each year from air pollution-related health problems. 5.1 million people die worldwide every year from air pollution caused by fossil fuels!
Finland, Estonia, Puerto Rico, Australia, New Zealand, Bermuda, Grenada, Iceland, Mauritius and French Polynesia are the only 10 countries and territories identified as "cities with healthy air quality".
Therefore, after understanding this situation, we will contribute without delay to maintain this beautiful country as a country with a favorable environment for living.
