When we burn fossil fuels, we breathe disease. #Cleanenergy cuts #AirPollution, protects lungs & hearts, and safeguards children and elders most at risk.
Evidence shows low-carbon transitions improve public health and reduce disease burden.
Clean air starts with clean energy.

North India’s #AQI is severe. Dr. Arvind Kumar warns: breathing this air = smoking 15–20 cigarettes a day. From newborns to the elderly, everyone is at risk. This is a #health emergency.

Studies have shown that vehicles contribute around 40% to Delhi’s PM2.5 load. It is clear that the focus should be on cutting emissions.
Acc. to @CAQM_Official, as many as 93% of the 2.88 crore vehicles on the road in #Delhi-NCR are light motor vehicles (LMVs; essentially #cars) and two-wheelers. More than a third- around 37% - of this #fleet comprises BS III or even older vehicles, which have a significantly higher emissions potential.
