Air pollution in Indian districts significantly increased death risk across age groups, study finds

Hindustan Times  

In Indian districts, air pollution exceeding national standards have been shown to increase death risk across all age groups - by 86 per cent in newborns, 100-120 per cent in children under five years of age and 13 per cent in adults, according to a study. Among newborns and children aged under five, the chances "appeared to be almost two-fold and more than two-fold higher, respectively, in the districts of India where the PM2.5 concentration is up to the NAAQS level," the authors said in the study published in the journal GeoHealth. Connection between PM2.5 and household air pollution Analysing the interaction between PM2.5 exceeding NAAQS and household air pollution, the team found that it substantially increased deaths among newborns by 19 per cent, children by 17 per cent and adults by 13 per cent. The researchers called for raising awareness among people in vulnerable regions, where use of clean fuel is low and separate kitchens within households are not common, is very crucial for maintaining health air indoors.
