Putting air pollution on the agenda

Hindustan Times  

Over 76% of India's population resides in areas that permanently exceed the national ambient air quality standards. Besides, air pollution costs Indian businesses approximately $95 billion – or ₹7 lakh crore – every fiscal, which accounts for approximately 3% of India's total Gross Domestic Product. Besides, strong evidence-based causal relationship between air pollution and health-related diseases which could actually attract the eyeballs of the poor who spend 54% of their income as out-of-pocket expenses on health, are yet to permeate public discourse thus failing to make a strong narrative with the common people. In a study conducted by Association for Democratic Reforms prior to the 2019 elections, Air Pollution ranked a poor 17th in the Top Governance Issues amongst both urban and rural voters. Air pollution cannot simply be a talking point amongst the elite; it must evolve into an impactful political discourse that reaches the grassroots.
