Berlin, Ta. March 7, 2020, Saturday

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Germany have released a new report on air pollution. It is reported that air pollution causes a decline in life expectancy of up to 3 years. Usually people do not take air pollution seriously.

Corona-like viruses are causing concern all over the world, leading to 3,000 deaths. On the other hand, air pollution kills 88 million people a year. The world has not been so cautious about it.

The fact that air pollution reduces longevity is a universal truth. Even the biggest decline is happening in a country like India. India has declined 3.86 years. Even so, air pollution in India is significantly higher than other countries in the world.

India has one of the most polluted cities in the world. At present, it is difficult to get pure air in the cities. People inhale air containing dust and smoke and other pollutants.

It causes asthma, lung disease, sore throat, irritation in the eyes, etc. There are minor problems. In the long run, polluted air weakens the lungs and in many cases causes death early.
