We live in a time when, more and more, science is underscoring the devastating health consequences of air pollution. It seems to be responsible for as many as 3 million deaths globally each year, principally due to tiny particulate matter that can get embedded in our lungs. In the United States alone, the economic cost of these health effects could...

The latest database from Numbeo, a website that collects global statistics including costs of living, crime rates and pollution indices, among others shows three Indian cities in the top 10 list of cities with the worst traffic conditions. These include Mumbai, Pune and Kolkatta.
