Abstract

New Delhi ties for first place, along with Beijing, China for having the world's worst air. New Delhi India's Capital, is one of the most important cities, but unfortunately for its inhabitants, New Delhi's air is fatal. The statistics are alarming. Specific to New Delhi, the number of vehicles on the road have increased by sixty-five percent since 2003. The more vehicles on the road means that there are more harmful pollutants being put into the atmosphere. The main cause of Delhi's air pollution is basically all the dirt that is being gone in the atmosphere creating a fog throughout the whole city. Topography also plays a major role in New Delhi's disquieting air pollution since it is a blocked-in city unlike Mumbai or Chennai and there is no coastal breeze eradicating the pollutants.
