But for the first three weeks of this year, New Delhi’s average daily peak reading of fine particulate matter from Punjabi Bagh, a monitor whose readings are often below those of other city and independent monitors, was 473, more than twice as high as the average of 227 in Beijing. By the time pollution breached 500 in Beijing for the first time on the night of Jan. 15, Delhi had already had eight such days. Indeed, only once in three weeks did New Delhi’s daily peak value of fine particles fall below 300, a level more than 12 times the exposure limit recommended by the World Health Organization.
Eck. So glad I live in a clean air environment. Both China and India are going to get a lot worse before it gets better too because of the population explosion going on in that country (yes, China's population is still growing immensely. It isn't expected to start losing people until the mid 2020s).

True.
However China is much larger and there are still some unpolluted regions.
India probably has no shielded area.

The problem is, that polluted air tends to blow around. Soon enough it will be all over us. Actually, I believe we have already found evidence that China's pollution has been coming our way for some time now.
Such is the price of the kind of progress we're looking for. NIMBY doesn't work quite so well any more.

China actually has a very low birth rate. But it takes time for the population to actually stop growing and then decline.
India yeah, they still have a lot of kids. lol. I read that India will add another 500 million people to its population by mid century.
But, what India wants to do India can do. Why is it a bad thing if they have 1 kid or 4? Everyone gets to make that choice for themselves.
