Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Filthy India air
cutting 660 million lives short by 3 years
It’s that bad. The
country is already shamefully labeled as one of the most polluted places in the
world, having been named 13 of its cities on the World Health Organization's
list of the 20 most polluted.
And now a new research
shows that that pollution in not only urban but also rural regions seems to
have shortened their life expectancy by as long as three years. This suggests
that lives of the young are the ones affected the most. To make this situation
worth, the country is pledged to build more coal burning power plants to power
up 300 million people who don’t have electricity now and also to boost its
economy.
Enjoy reading and
learning how severe the present and future air pollution is in soon-to-be the
most populous nation in the world.
