Mumbai is now the fourth most polluted mega city in the world, says WHO

The financial capital of India, which ranked fifth globally as the most polluted mega city in 2016, has now been declared as the fourth most polluted mega city in the world, according to latest data released by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

For particulate matter - annual PM10 (pollutant particles of the size of 10 microns, which can easily enter the lungs and cause health ailments) levels, Mumbai recorded 104 microgram per cubic metre (µg/m3) for the year 2016 which is over five times WHO’s safety limit of 20 µg/m3 and almost double the Indian safety limit of 60 µg/m3. While Delhi topped the rankings with PM10 levels at 292µg/m, making the national capital the most polluted megacity globally, Cairo, Egypt, and Dhaka, Bangladesh ranked second and third at 284µg/m3 and 147µg/m3.

Mumbai surpassed pollution levels of Beijing (92 µg/m3), China, which is the fifth most polluted globally. WHO calculated PM10 levels for 10 mega-cities of more than 14 million habitants for the last available year between the period 2010 and 2016.

For PM2.5 (small pollutant particles of the size 2.5 micron, much more dangerous than PM10) levels, Mumbai recorded 68µg/m3 in 2015 and 64µg/m3 in 2016, both over six times WHO’s safety limit of 10gm3 and one-and-half times more than annual Indian limit of 40µg/m3.
