Why India’s Delhi Has One of World’s Worst Air Pollution Problems

Bloomberg  

Hundreds of millions of Indians breathe some of the world’s most toxic air all year round. Air pollution in the capital area that’s home to about 30 million people is especially stubborn. This November, the capital saw some of the highest levels of pollution on record, and one measure of pollution in New Delhi frequently exceeds the World Health Organization’s daily recommended limits by a factor of more than 20. Studies show India’s dirty air has been killing about a million or more people a year, a massive figure authorities are still struggling to reduce. This is why air pollution, which is present in Delhi all year, becomes denser and more visible during winter.
