Deadly Air Pollution May Cut 17 Years from a Delhiite's Life

Longer life expectancy is a sign of healthy society. But cities like Delhi which get enveloped in ‘emergency’ levels of smog every year may face the threat of lower life expectancy. In fact, air pollution, mainly the concentration of the most dangerous pollutant known as PM2.5, may cut short the life expectancy of Delhiites by 17 years. At present, residents of Delhi are breathing about 25 times more toxic air (as on November 19) than the permissible limit according to World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Globally, air pollution reduces life expectancy on an average by one year and eight months – a loss that ranks just below those related to smoking but above unsafe drinking water and lung cancer.
