A landmark new report has found that diesel SUVs on Indian roads are emitting 25 to 65 times as much noxious nitrogen oxide as a small petrol car. These shocking results come from actual on-road testing of Indian cars by two reputed environmental non-profits. A study published earlier this year in Nature magazine estimated that excess nitrogen oxide emissions were linked to 38,000 premature deaths worldwide in 2015 mostly in the EU, China, and India. We ask: is it now imperative to say no to diesel cars?

India already has the uncomfortable honour of having the world's deadliest air. A Boston-based advocacy group's report called the Study of Global Air 2017 says over 1 million people had early deaths because of pollution in India and that India and China together accounted for half the world's total pollution deaths.

अमेरिका के बोस्टन में जारी की गई स्टेट ऑफ ग्लोबल एयर रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक साल 2015 में हमारे देश में ढाई लाख लोगों की मौत फेफड़े की बीमारी के कारण हो गई. देश में सड़क हादसे के मुकाबले वायु प्रदूषण से ज्यादा मौतें हो रही हैं. इसी साल 17 जनवरी, को एक और रिपोर्ट प्रकाशित हुई कि भारत में हर साल 12 लाख लोग वायु प्रदूषण से मारे जाते हैं. हालांकि विभिन्न रिपोर्टों में इस बारे में आंकड़े अलग-अलग हैं, लेकिन सबसे गौर करने वाली बात यह है कि दुनिया में 92 फीसदी आबादी ऐसी जगहों पर रहती है, जहां हवा सांस लेने लायक नहीं है.
