Accordingly, air pollution caused the death of 1.67 million Indians in 2019. Of which, more than 100,000 of these were infants under 1 month old.<\/p>\n

Research conducted by the Health Effect Institute (HEI) – a US-based non-governmental organization showed, more than half of the PM2.5 dust-related deaths originated from social activities.

Long-term exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollution has caused many diseases in India such as stroke, heart attack, diabetes, lung cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.<\/p>\n

In addition, scientists also point to clear evidence linking air pollution with an increase in cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. This also means, air pollution can worsen Covid-19 symptoms. Air pollution also has a strong impact on the health and life of babies.<\/p>\n

Scientists point to a lot of evidence that exposure to polluted air results in low birth weight and premature births. Analysis in the Global Air Situation Report shows that nearly 21% of all neonatal deaths from all causes are caused by air pollution in the surroundings and within the home.<\/p>\n

Also according to this report, in 2019, South Asian countries such as India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal are among the top 10 most exposed countries to PM2.5 fine dust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
