Question

New Delhi: The next time you suddenly start wheezing or sneezing and suspect it's the ice cream you just ate, think again. It may, in fact be something as routine as the air you are breathing. A survey was conducted jointly by Centre of Science and Environment (CSE) and Indian Council of Medical Research in India and South Asia. It was found that air pollution is now the fifth largest killer in India, after high blood pressure, indoor air pollution, tobacco smoking, and poor nutrition. Out of 180 cities monitored for the survey, close to half of the total urban population in India and South Asia breathes air which exceeds the permissible limits of PM10.
