Pollution killed 16L over estimates in India, China in 2015
Air pollution caused by fossil fuels, lead to 16 lakh additional deaths in India and China in 2015 than estimated, Greenpeace reported. Expected deaths based on GDP were calculated to be 12 lakh and 5.6 lakh in India and China respectively. Pollution generally reduces with increasing GDP, but pollution is bad in the two countries despite economic growth, Greenpeace added.
