Air pollution – the silent pandemic and its impact on business
India saw 1.67 million deaths —18% of total mortality— due to air pollution in 2019. However, the impacts of air pollution are not limited to health but also on the economic front. Now, a report titled “Air pollution – the silent pandemic and its impact on business” by the Clean Air Fund (CAF) and Dalberg Advisors, shows that air pollution in India poses a huge cost to economic growth at $95 billion or 3% of its GDP in 2019.
