According to a study published in The Lancet Planetary Health Journal, more than 23.5 million people died in India in 2019 due to pollution. All deaths are premature. This number is the highest in any country in the world. The study claims that “pollution of all kinds causes about 9 million deaths a year in the world.” Deaths from air pollution caused by automobile and industrial fumes have increased by 55%. Worldwide pollution kills an average of 117 people per 100,000.
According to the study, of these 2.3 million deaths, about 16.7 million deaths are due to air pollution and more than 500,000 deaths are due to water pollution. People have also died due to other pollution. Most deaths due to air pollution in India are related to air pollution caused by PM2.5 particles.
