India has many cities that are living through the effects of global warming. The air pollution levels in India have gotten completely out of control. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) posted what the Air Quality Index was in some of India’s major cities. The numbers are frightening to say the least.
THE AIR QUALITY INDEX FOR THE AIR POLLUTION IN INDIA
The first thing that should be explained is how the CPCB is measuring the Air Quality Index. Air Quality index has six potential indexes: good, satisfactory, moderate, poor, very poor, and severe. Good is meaning that there is a minimal impact with the air. Satisfactory means there will be minor breathing issues. Moderate will mostly affect those with asthma. Poor, very poor, and severe all make it hard for people to breathe when they are outside.
THE CITIES MOSTLY AFFECTED BY THIS AIR POLLUTION IN INDIA
The CPCB numbers are as follows. Only one of the cities that the CPCB measured had a good air pollution level, Jaipur. Only one city got a score of satisfactory, Hyderabad. Moderate scores were given to three cities: Chandrapur, Mumbai, and Navi Mumbai. Only one city received a poor rating, Pune. Unfortunately, the numbers go down massively from there. A whopping six cities were given an air pollution score of very poor. Agra, Delhi, Faridabad, Jodhpur, Muzaffarpur, and Varanasi were the cities that were deemed to have very poor air pollution levels. There was also one city to score severe and that was Lucknow.
AIR POLLUTION IN INDIA IS DESTROYING THEM
Nobody should have to live like this, but the reality is many in India are. The results of global warming are destroying the air in most of India. Hopefully, this will improve for the people in India. The issue is global warming seems like it is a disease that can not be cured. One thing that is for sure is the people over there need people’s support and prayers. The air pollution in India is making their citizens live through unstable conditions.
