The Pulse - Battling Air Pollution

In today's episode of Pulse we are talking about the dominant air pollution problem.. How severe is the situation. Why the problem is on a rise... How the common man is bearing the brunt.. And the remedial measures for battling air pollution. Air pollution is an insidious killer. If you are among the 91% of the world’s population who breathes air the World Health Organisation deems unsafe, then every time you inhale, microscopic particles are being drawn into your lungs. They get into the bloodstream, with a possibility of causing serious illness like cancers, strokes and heart disease, stunting children’s growth and development, and even reducing intelligence.
