DELHI AIR POLLUTION: CSE REPORTS UPTO 30,000 DEATHS ANNUALLY

Air pollution, which is one of the top ten killers in the world and
fifth leading cause of death in
India, is responsible for about
10,000 to 30,000 deaths
annually in Delhi, a report by the
Centre for Science and Environment said on Tuesday. A report titled Body Burden 2015: State of India's Health released here focuses on public
health threats and their
environment linkages. It says
air pollution results in about
620,000 premature deaths
which are caused by stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, ischemic heart disease, lower respiratory
infections and trachea,
bronchus and lung cancer
among others. "The report shows us that we
must focus on prevention and
not treatment. We need to improve the environment, reduce the disease burden and
save money in private or public
healthcare," said CSE Director
General Sunita Narain. Forest degradation has helped
pathogens, that were restricted
to animals, jump the species
barrier and infect humans, the
report states. Open defecation
and malnutrition rates are linked, it adds. "Revamping transportation
systems and cleaner
technologies are needed
urgently," said CSE. The analysis includes air
pollution, pesticides,
degradation of forests, water
and sanitation, climate change
and lifestyle diseases.
