1. A 2013 study on non-smokers has found that Indians have 30% lower lung function compared to Europeans
2. Traffic congestion on inadequate road infrastructure is a daily reality of India's urban centers.
3. Slow speeds and idling vehicles produce, per trip, 4 to 8 times more pollutants and consume more carbon footprint fuels, than free flowing traffic.
4. Air pollution in India is quite a serious issue with the major sources being fuelwood and biomass- ‘plant and animal material, especially agricultural waste products, used as a source of fuel’ burning, fuel adulteration, vehicle emission and traffic congestion.
5. In autumn and winter months, large scale crop residue burning in agriculture fields – a low cost alternative to mechanical tilling – is a major source of smoke, smog and particulate pollution”. Courtesy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
