1.4 Million Lives Lost in India due to Air Pollution in 2013: Study

India lost 1.4 million lives to air pollution in 2013, while in China the toll was 1.6 million, estimates a report released recently. The report, released by the World Bank and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, shows that in 2013 more than five million deaths worldwide were attributed to health conditions caused by air pollution. About 60 per cent of them were in the world's two most populous countries. After adjusting for population, these two countries along with Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan were among the 15 nations with the highest toll per million population. China and India ranked 4th and 6th worst in the world, respectively. Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan were ranked 11th, 12th, and 15th on this count.
