Breathing the Invisible

An ‘invisible’ pollutant, ground-level ozone is altering the India’s air quality profile. The problem of ozone pollution is no longer confined to traditional pollution hotspots: it’s rapidly spreading across the country.

According to CSE’s latest analysis, 15 of India’s 25 major cities have recorded average ozone concentrations well above the limit set by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). The implications for public health can be serious: ozone has short and long-term impacts ranging from lung damage and cardiovascular diseases to increased asthma attacks.

Join us in this LIVE CHAT with one of the Global South’s topmost experts on air pollution to understand what this means for the health and liveability of our cities, and what shifts in policy and planning are needed to effectively tackle ozone pollution.
