Hi everyone! Today I am going to tell you about something worrying happening in India. In the city of New Delhi, in India, the government declared the first lockdown because of pollution. The main causes are the levels of pollution of the air recorded at the beginning of November.
Few days
ago, even schools and many coal centrals were stopped (which supplied electric
energy for the city). These two measures are added to others that had already been
introduced, such as the stop to construction sites or to the transportation of
less important goods. The government invited citizens to stay at home and
authorities are thinking about closing industries.
They are
mostly worried about the concentration of fine dust in the air. The analysis
revealed levels of pollution seven times higher than the maximum allowed
(density of dust in the air about 300 μg/m^3).
The
situation should improve with the arrival of winds, but meanwhile, people still get ill, developing respiratory
problems and pathologies. According to Greenpeace,
in 2020, in the city of Delhi, about 57,000
people died because of pollution.
Our world
is collapsing because of our indifference. The issues we have to deal with are
serious and urgent. This is why everyone should start doing something, even small things, to contribute and improve the situation, little by little, in
order to preserve our planet for next generations.
