WHAT CAUSES THE POLLUTION IN INDIA?
Pollution is a major problem all around the world, but especially in South Asia. China and India have some of world’s worst pollution levels. Just walking outside literally takes days off of your life and can cause extreme respiratory and immune diseases after excessive exposure to air or water. Pollution comes in all shapes in forms and there are three main types: air, water, and land. All of these pollutions are dangerous and cause their own problems and have their own causes. Air pollution is caused by three major things: automobiles, factories, and the burning of biomass. Anything from the exhausts of private jets that fly over the Indian skies to small scooters that glide by the side of the road results in harmful emissions that add to the increasing amount of air pollution. The burning of the petrol, diesel, or kerosene causes more hazardous conditions for the people. The emissions from factories also add to the extreme air pollution. Millions of particles of smoke in the form of air molecules mixed with carbon monoxide and nitrogen are air pumped into the sky every second. India has much less strict laws prohibiting this and this dangerous act is continued legally with no repercussions. These harmful chemicals which can easily cause death are pumped into the air in great quantity. Finally, the burning of biomass contributes to the poisonous air of India. Biomass, which is organic material, is burnt very commonly. Hindu people find public cremation to be socially acceptable and perform it on a regular basis. These burnings increase the amount of pollutants in the air and just create more unsafe conditions for those who are left to endure it. Biomass is also used for fuel in people’s homes and causes air pollution. There are several other ways that air becomes polluted, such as household cleaners and rotting bodies, but these are the main three reasons that Indian air is so unbearable.
The largest cause of water pollution in India is sewage. Tons and tons of raw sewage are dumped into Indian rivers every day. The waters of India are some of the most polluted in the world. With no regard for the danger, millions of gallons of waste of deposited into these waters. They cause health problems for the millions of Indian that use the water for their subsistence needs. The most holy river for Hindus, the Ganges, is one of the most polluted rivers in the whole entire world. Not only sewage, but also other harmful substances are in Indian waterways. The ashes from public cremation are thrown into the Ganges where they add to the extreme pollution of the river. People bathe in the unclean water that has dead and decaying bodies and chemical waste from careless factories. Water pollution is also caused by many more things that result in serious problems but these are some of the worst causes. Finally land pollution is everywhere in India and has a wide variety causes. Urbanization and deforestation remove positive things such as forests and trees from the environment. “Non-biodegradable waste” is left of the land where it stays from hundreds of years. This includes “containers, bottles and cans made of plastic, used cars and electronic goods.” Agricultural waste such as pesticides and “weedicides” lead to runoff that can cause soil pollution. Nuclear and toxic waste is left by companies and causes serious land pollution that can only be disposed of in thousands of years. “Improper treatment of sewage” and the “burning of solid fuels” lead to more land pollution. Finally, regular garbage and trash left behind by Indian citizens contributes to the extreme problem and makes living conditions unbearable. Air, water, and land pollution are major problems for people in India. It is dangerous, great in quantity, and hard to stop. All three different types of pollution are thriving in India and all with their own causes.

Air pollution in India rises 13% in 5 years
OUR BUREAU NEW DELHIJANUARY 11
Greenpeace India report blames fossil fuel use
NEW DELHI, JANUARY 11
The world is becoming cleaner even as India, almost as a whole, is getting a lot filthier, a new report by Greenpeace India shows.
China, which was roundly criticised across the globe for being its infamous haze and air pollution, has been steadily getting cleaner, with air pollution levels having dipped by about 17 per cent between 2010 and 2015.
The same goes for the largest greenhouse gas emitter, the US — which has seen a dip by 15 per cent — as well as the European Union, which has seen a 20 per cent decrease in air pollution between 2005 and 2013.
Indian air, on the other hand, is getting greyer. Air pollution levels have risen by as much as 13 per cent in five years between 2010 and 2015.
Monitoring mechanisms
What’s worse, will to tackle the public health crisis appears to be abysmally low.
By February 2016, India had only 39 monitoring stations in 23 cities.
Compare this with China which has 1,500 stations in 900 cities and towns; the US with 770 stations in 540 cities and towns; and the EU with 1,000 stations in 400 cities and towns.
Unlike most other ambitious nations, India has failed to set a deadline for itself to meet its national air quality standards, which are much more relaxed than those set by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Most cities are failing to meet these National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) by a wide margin.
The capital Delhi, for example, has average PM10 concentrations of 268 µg/m3 — that are 4.5 times higher than the NAAQS, and a whopping 13 times higher than the annual limit set by WHO, the Greenpeace report points out.
Pollution in cities
While the public debate around air pollution has been centering around the capital, the status isn’t much better in other cities.
Predictably, Delhi tops the list of the most polluted city but, it is followed closely by Ghaziabad, Allahabad, and Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh; Faridabad in Haryana; Jharia in Jharkhand, Alwar in Rajasthan; Ranchi, Kusunda and Bastacola in Jharkhand; Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh, and Patna In Bihar; with PM10 levels ranging from 200 µg/m3to 258 µg/m3.
“The most polluted cities are spread across North India, starting from Rajasthan and then moving along the Indo-gangetic belt to West Bengal.
“A closer analysis of the data, obtained through RTI and previous studies on air pollution, pinpoint to continued use of fossil fuels as the main culprit for the dangerous rise in the level of pollutants in the air across the country,” the Greenpeace India report notes.
