#AirPollution is a global crisis, with 99% of the world’s population breathing air that exceeds WHO's safety limits, leading to 7 million premature deaths annually. In #India, over 1.6 million deaths occur every year due to air pollution, with cities like #Delhi suffering from hazardous AQI levels, especially during winter months. The health impacts are severe, contributing to respiratory and heart diseases, while vulnerable groups such as women and children are at higher risk. (Source: The State of Global Air 2024 report, Lancet study & WHO) At MHT, we are working towards cleaner air by raising awareness, promoting sustainable practices, and empowering communities to reduce pollution and protect health.
