India’s high air pollution counts for a large share of deaths

Air pollution could be responsible for 7 out of 100 deaths in India, and mortality is high even at levels well below national limit values. This is according to a new study published in The Lancet Planetary Health by researchers at Karolinska Institutet and others. The researchers point to the need for comprehensive measures and stricter air pollution guidelines in India.
