A new report published in The Lancet Planet makes the point that 33,000 Indians in 10 Indian cities die of air pollution annually at pollution levels below India's current air quality standards. This means that India's clean-air threshold is simply too high and needs to match or get closer to what the World Health Organisation recommends. There is little point in having national clean air standards which don't prevent the death of citizens.
