[h=1]Delhi Is No More World’s Most Polluted City, But 10 Cities In Top 20 Are From India[/h]According to the latest urban air quality database released by World Health Organisation(WHO) on Thursday, Delhi does not have to bear the tag of world’s most polluted city.
The capital now ranks 11th among 3,000 cities in 103 countries in terms of PM 2.5 (fine particulate pollution) and 25th in terms of PM 10 (coarse pollution particles) levels.
Earlier in 2014, Delhi was ranked the most polluted city in the world, in which, WHO had monitored 1,600 cities. But the appalling fact is that four Indian cities are among the world’s 10 most polluted cities, and 10 out of 20 are also from India.
According to the database, Zabol in Iran is the most polluted city in the world. Gwalior and Allahabad are second and third in terms of PM 2.5, which is associated with more serious health impacts than PM 10. Patna and Raipur rank 6th and 7th. In WHO’s 2014 report, 13 out of 20 most polluted cities were in India.
