The latest Lancet report – India State-level Disease Burden – says there’s been a 17 percent rise in deaths and disabilities due to diseases caused by air pollution across the country.

After child and maternal malnutrition, which was India’s leading risk factor for health loss in 2016, causing 14.6 percent of the country’s total disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), air pollution was the second leading risk factor in India as a whole.

Air Pollution led to over 2,750 cases of deaths or severe illnesses per lakh people in 2016. Leading cause of illnesses were non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease and respiratory infections.

States most affected due to air pollution included Haryana, Delhi, Punjab, Bihar, Rajasthan, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh

The states least affected by pollution were Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Odisha.

This risk factor include both outdoor air pollution from a variety of sources as well as household air pollution that mainly results from burning solid fuels for cooking and heat.
