The article talks about the air pollution in New Delhi, the capital of India. The article says this bad air pollution can possibly cut off 10 years of people’s lives because it is the world’s most polluted city. The air pollution is unsafe for human health and unsafe for the environment. The air pollution got so bad from burning fossil fuels because of the very large population of India. The fossil fuels then turn into greenhouse gasses which change the climate all around the world.
The article is relevant to environmental science because climate change has the effects of changing the environment. Sciencitist need to figure out the best ways to reduce the harm done by climate change throughout the years to better the environment. In my opinion it is important to reduce the air pollution in India and all throughout the world because it is unhealthy for humans to breathe bad air.
It’s concerning that it’s affecting people this closely, which I didn’t realize because of how privileged we are in where we live. Is it that India can’t afford to produce healthy air? Or is it that the ecosystem and environment in India can not support that number of people?
Thanks for reading, responding to your question I think it is what you said with the environment not being able to support the large population they have.
