In this #mahindrapodcast, we delved into the critical issue of #airpollution and its current impact on #India, #China and the #US. One of the causes of air pollution in India is the #stubbleburning in the states of #Punjab and #Haryana, which significantly affects the air quality in the capital city of #Delhi. The growth in number of #petrolcars #dieselengine powered cars and #constructionactivities also affect air pollution to a large extent. However, there are several #renewableenergy, #sustainability, and #technological solutions that can mitigate this problem. For instance, technologies like #smogtower, #sharktankindia, #ubreathe, and #airpurifier, along with initiatives such as #ethanolblending, #electricvehicles, and #hydrogenfuels, can play a pivotal role in addressing this issue. During the discussion, we also highlighted the wide-ranging health impacts caused by air pollution, including #mentalhealth issues, #respiration problem, #lungdiseases, #cancer, and #heartissues. To tackle these issues, we presented a number of action plans and policies such as the #parisagreement, the #unitednations #climatechange conference, the #cleanair act, and #savetrees campaign. In this #podcast, we aimed to raise awareness about the dangers of #airpollution and the measures that can be taken to address it. We hope that our discussion inspires individuals, businesses, and policymakers to take effective action to reduce air pollution and safeguard public health.
