Life expectancy in India would be 1.7 years higher if we had cleaner air to breathe - air cleaner

The study considers about 12.
India died of air pollution in 2017, saying it was a major risk factor for the country's death.
The average life expectancy of Indians is 1 year old.
A study on Thursday said that if they had cleaner air to breathe, it was seven years higher than it currently is.
He said that one person died of air pollution per 8 people in India last year, and the average life expectancy of Indians will reach 70 years.
If the level of pollution is below the minimum level that causes health losses, it is 7 years, not 69 years.
The level of outdoor activity in northern India is particularly high, the study claims that the number of people exposed to ultra-outdoor activities is the highest.
Fine particles, PM2.
In Delhi, the states of the North and Haryana followed.
"The average life expectancy in India is 1 year old.
If the level of air pollution is below the lowest level causing health losses, it is 7 years higher and the increase in northern Rajasthan is the highest (2. 5 years)
State of the North (2. 2 years), and Haryana (2. 1 years)," it said.
The study considers about 12.
India died of air pollution in 2017, saying it was a major risk factor for the country's death.
India accounts for 18% of the world's population, and premature deaths and health losses account for 26% of global air pollution, the report said.
According to the report, 77% of India's population is exposed to outdoor air pollution levels higher than the national environmental air quality standards (NAAQS)safe limit.
Uttar Pradesh, which recorded the most 2,60, 028 deaths last year, caused air pollution, with 96,967 in Maharashtra, 1,08, 038 and Bihar.
For the first time, Indian states have fully estimated the impact of air pollution on deaths, health losses and reduced life expectancy, saying that there are six states.
Seven lakh died of outdoor particulate matter and four.
Eight lakh were killed due to domestic air pollution.

Together with other Indian collaborators, it is concluded based on the data and evidence provided by a large number of studies that estimate the contribution of air pollution to global deaths.
Last year, 77% of India's population was exposed to pm2. 5.
More than 5 40g/m3, the recommended limit for NAAQS.
Average ambient particulate matter PM2.
According to the study, India's annual exposure of 90g/m3 in 2017 was one of the "highest in the world.
The study notes that while the proportion of Indian households using solid fuels has been increasing, there are still populations using solid fuels in 2017.
This ratio is higher in less areas.
More than two developed countries
30 of the most powerful action groups (EAG)
It says states that use solid fuel to cook.
According to it, the main source of environmental particulate pollution in India is coal-fired, industrial emissions, construction activities, brick kilns, transport vehicles, road dust in thermal power plants, residential and commercial biomass burning, garbage burning, agricultural straw burning and diesel generators.
Professor Kalpana Balakrishnan, the first author of the study and head of the Department of Environmental Health Engineering at the Institute of Higher Education and Research, ramakandra, Sri Lanka, said, there is growing evidence across the globe and India that air pollution is linked to premature deaths and disease burdens.
"The findings of this paper are based on all available air pollution data analyzed using a standardized approach to global burden of disease research.
Air pollution scientists from India have contributed to the study.
"For the first time in several years this comprehensive effort has produced what we believe is a reliable estimate of the health impact of outdoor and household air pollution in every state of India," Balakrishnan said . ".
Following the release of these findings, Professor Balram Bhargava, director general of ICMR, said it systematically recorded the differences between states, this will provide useful guidance for further progress in reducing the adverse effects of air pollution in the country.
