Description
Jaganathan and colleagues published in twenty twenty-four a study estimating deaths from fine air pollution across India. Earlier global work borrowed risk curves from cleaner countries, which may misfit India. The team used Indian data from two thousand nine to twenty nineteen. District death counts came from the national registration system. Pollution estimates came from a detailed model at fine spatial scale. A causal method compared changes over time between districts.
Everyone studied lived where pollution exceeded World Health Organization guidance. Most lived above India's own national standard as well. Each rise in annual fine particles linked to a clear rise in mortality. Millions of deaths over the decade were attributed to pollution above either standard. The authors say India-specific evidence strengthens the case for cleaner air.
