The pollution story In Black And Pink
Life in Delhi is a capital punishment. The city's air is so polluted it claims a victim every hour. The level of small particles less than 10 micron ( pm 10) present in the air are very high and are known to cause severe lung damage and cancer. The combustion of diesel generates large quantities of these particles, besides other harmful gases and dangerous hydrocarbons. The pictures below and on the opposite page speak volumes about the quality of air in the capital and the insidious manner in which vital organs of the body are exposed to these deadly pollutants.
At a public meeting on June 5, World Environment Day, 17 of the most eminent medical doctors, scientists and toxicologists of India released a signed statement expressing concern over the harmful effects of air pollution in the capital. The document points out that "there is urgent need for comprehensive epidemiological studies to show how ambient air pollution is affecting people's health and to quantitate this information and provide policy tools for air quality planning."
Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change.[1] Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat, or light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution. In 2015, pollution killed 9 million people worldwide.[2][3]
