Meet on air pollution from today
Staff Reporter
Bangalore: Bangalore holds the title of being the asthma capital of the country. Studies estimate that 10 per cent of Bangalore’s 60 lakh population and over 50 per cent of its children below 18 years suffer from air pollution-related ailments. In India, air pollution is estimated to cause, at the very minimum, 1 lakh excess deaths and 25 million excesses illnesses every year.
To tackle this deteriorating situation a workshop is being organised by Cerana Foundation in association with Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) on Tuesday and Wednesday. This workshop is part of an environmental health workshop series initiated two years ago in affiliation with the United Nations Environment Programme.
The workshop will bring together various stakeholders —from asthma and other air pollution affected persons, government and non-government and professional organisations, and individuals.
