Industrial pollution poses a serious problem for our planet and the threat is particularly imminent for rapidly industrialising developing nations such as India and China.

India and the world
Drawing on measurements and calculations, as of 2016, from air monitoring stations in 4,300 cities, the World Health Organisation (WHO) reported in March that Indian cities suffer the most. Kanpur with a population of three million tops the list with a yearly average of 319 micrograms per cubic metre of PM2.5, the most hazardous particle commonly measured.
The WHO does not treat its data as a ranking but rather as a measurement of risks. But it is clear from the report that India is one of the riskiest countries in the world to breathe along with Bangladesh and Georgia. When it comes to comparing PM10 measurements of the world’s largest cities, India’s capital Delhi comes with an annual average of 292, ahead of Cairo (284), Dhaka (147), Mumbai (104), and Beijing (92).
