Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As winter looms, millions across North India enter a recurring nightmare: toxic air that makes every breath a challenge. But this isn’t just a North Indian crisis—cities like Kolkata, Mumbai, and Bengaluru are increasingly feeling the chokehold too.

With a PhD from Carnegie Mellon University and unmatched expertise in research, Dr. Subramanian shares insights into the health impacts, policy measures, and potential solutions to India’s air pollution crisis.
