Delhi is one of the most polluted cities in the world in terms of air pollution. This pollution is not only a threat to the environment but is also a huge threat to people's health. According to a recent study, the life expectancy of people is decreasing significantly due to the pollution present in Delhi's air.

According to the study, the life expectancy of people living in Delhi can be reduced by up to 12 years. This is because the level of PM 2.5 pollutants in Delhi's air is very high. PM 2.5 are small particles that can penetrate deep into the lungs and harm health.

Risk of heart and lung diseases

PM 2.5 pollution can cause heart disease, lung disease, cancer, and other serious health problems. Many people die prematurely due to these diseases.

Has the situation improved?

However, Delhi's air has improved somewhat in recent years. Pollution levels have decreased by 19.3%, increasing people's life expectancy by an average of one year. This improvement is mainly due to meteorological reasons.

But the danger still remains

Although there has been some improvement in the pollution level, Delhi's air is still very polluted. The city is densely populated and there is a lot of industrial activity, due to which the pollution level keeps increasing.

What can be done?

The government and people have to work together to clean Delhi's air. The government should promote public transport and reduce vehicle emissions. People will also have to make changes in their actions to reduce pollution.
