In the village in Germany where I live air quality index is 6 whereas in delhi its up to 500.
u r lucky
Living in Delhi, I cant imagine how good the air would be.
Werner my son allow more pajeets to flood your zones, give them money give them thrust, Werner my son let them replace your kindies, give them all Werner my son
6 for Village?? Really??!! In the City of Banda Aceh (Indonesia) it's 5-6 (and somethimes as low as 2)
I'm Indonesian :)
M Meidiano Al Fajri I'm pretty sure you're lying, I was looking at a live world air pollution chart and the lowest in all of Asia is a 9 in the Malaysia jungle.. aqicn.org/map/indonesia/#@g/-1.5541/-37.6172/1z
Okay. India, China, stop any grudging and arguing. FIX THE pollution! You guys have the same problem, fix them together pleease.
ya, let's fix it
Only New Delhi has Problem.
Mumbai Air pollution Index =91
Pune Air pollution Index = 78
Same in Many Indian cities..
But..
Delhi Air pollution Index = above 999 in some areas and average 448.
You are right
China has nearly solved it due to their strict implementation of pollution control measures
The Sri Lankan cricket team struggled during a game near Delhi and decided to wear masks. The Indian officials were soon to judge the SL team as an act done in not good faith. The city is declared as not suitable for any sport activity according to its average air quality and even an Indian player got sick the next day, yet they still disparaged the visitors taking care of their own health. This is the denial that they live in.
As an Indian, I attest to this fact of living in denial.
Yas M Our cricket team is in India now. Playing the T20 series. Some of our players vomited. It’s just that bad.
You are absolutely correct brother...Instead of accepting the worsening condition of delhi air and water pollution, they put blame on the team who is finding it hard to play in filthy toxic air.
For a country that has so much potential it's just sad air comes at a premium.
@@KurtVogel88 true
@@5991arpit you’re in no place to be calling anyone filthy, poo.
Potential? The fact they have so much pollution is proof the country is filled with uneducated superstitious people. The US and Canada have far more potential.
It's even worse today than it was when this video came out
Viraj Dobriyal Cause india is stupid, you get cancer in like 4 years 100%. I hope they will learn that solar power is the only way to go like china and electric cars
Solid_Snake India ain’t stupid, I see ur flag is Italy and u guys weren’t taking coronavirus seriously, let’s see country with 65 million and 20k deaths.. But yet India is stupid amidst this situation, you should see how India is currently handling the situation, and pollution got better.
@@manojpandey7895 Pollution has not got better. Quite the opposite it has worsened a lot.
I didn't see any one wearing a mask.
adlibruj because they are unaware of what they are breathing
They are just immune :)
oh yeah yeah
They don't need aid, they need education.
Can't afford
to fix this issue stop burning your trash that's like the main thing and tell your coal companies to cut it easy there should be more regulations and plant more trees a lot more trees have a lot of plants in the house
***** I agree definitely that's a good idea man I feel bad for Indian people I mean I live in Los Angeles where our air is pretty bad but not as bad as this I live in the valley, and around our neighborhood we have so many trees and plants and inside our house we have about 10 plants and our backyard we have a lot of trees and having that many makes a huge difference then before when we didn't have that many plants or trees plus it keeps the house cool
Engineerdude don't worry man I have the same thing you do I have to pick up trash in front of my house and on the neighbor's house on the street
telling coal company to cut lol😨😨😁
Javier Barrios : U.S.A. Is going to be the new Delhi under President Donald Trump's new CORRUPT Environmental Protection Agency Boss ! 😥
How do you Like That ? chill out bro it's not like we can invent some sort of new technology that can fix that come on where the United States of America we're not India no offense this country was established 240 years ago and about 75% of Technology the last 240 years since the country's been established we've invented the technology for the world will figure something out believe me thanks to America and the reason why we haven't invented anything lately because of red tape research that the globalist.... Well not anymore with Trump that red tape is going to get cut

The comment section is more cancerous than the air.
Nikhil Vasudeva true that
Well we deserve that
I doubt it in this case lol
What do you expect people to say? India is paradise on Earth? Lol.
Nikhil Vasudeva keep you mouth shut then.
The thing is, even in countries like China, the average person produces LESS pollution than the average American. There is just too many people living in such a small space that the pollution is intensified.
Same goes for India.
Same goes for india too.
True
@@VishalDubey Not true
Higher density doesn't always mean Air Pollution..
When I was travelling to Delhi Airport I saw a HUGE pile of rubbish and can't describe how big it was and they were trying to burn it
Pile is an understatement. Delhi has landfills the size of mountains. rivers have lethal amounts of Lead content and everyone already knows about the air.
Nishant Joshi Delhi ab rehney layk nhi..
vijay bhatt so leave Delhi kuch to pollution kam hoga lol
India stinks
You can't say a certain country is bad just by the pollution there is.
SO people in delhi are super humans to survive that air.....
yes
like my channel
yeah they develop immunities i guess.
no, they are definitely not super humans. majority of the people that live there will most likely develop health problems later in their life because of the air pollution, and people probably already have health issues, they just dont do anything about it. it's sad
Raghunandan Reddy C unknown sudden cancers are on the rise what are u talking about?? Diseases are on the highhhh
Maybe in 100 years they can developed immunity like how people from japan don't normally get mercury poison from all the fish they eat.
One of many reasons that Delhi and other parts of India ignore environment problem is that due to large population and lack of job securities almost every Indian have become prisoner of their surrounding. The "ONE PERCENT" (Corrupt politician, mafia, business tycoon and Religious Cult leaders)control the entire economy. So basically the rest 99% is hustling to survive and what make it more worse is that our education system and culture has never encourage kids to "question" and being curious towards society.India is not a country of tolerance but ignorance.
Couldn't agree more.Rightly said.
Well said dude, harsh reality.
On point 👍
Raj Karan
Those Britishers again
Brahmins were to blame
I live in Canada, and when smoke from the wildfires blow over to our city, we get around a 15 or 16 air quality max. I thought that was a lot.....
Until I saw this video....
yea, all the smoke coming from BC
Yeah, it can be annoying sometimes...
@Westin Taylor but dont worry, sooner this all would change..time has come for u Europeans to bow down in front of the rising giants China and India
On other news:
Canada has been dumping their trash to other 3rd world countries. Great Canadian export😂..
@Westin Taylor yea well in that case, people should stop going to western nations..then even i will see how these WHITE nations progress..coz the new generations there are as dumb as you..

It's you west guys brainwash indians to believe that.
nah, Indonesia even worst, this kind of super clean air in Indonesia.
Nadzrin Puad no actually Indonesia is so so so much better than this. Come to New Delhi and see by yourself how messed up this city is..
And here we are in 2019, the air quality reaches 999 😮
It's over and above that .1500 . We as a society need to focus on what really matters. I've seen many people leave India who could afford to.
Hi aarav I have same surname as yours
I live in Switzerland. Here, the air quality is
So what you fool just trying to show off.

Rutajit Sinha exactly, it’s dangerous man. When I went to New Delhi from Zürich, it was such a noticeable difference. However I’m not sure what they could do, other than reduce the number of vehicles, to improve air quality.

Left delhi, after 5 years..
Many diseases hit me in delhi..nervous system etc.
Now i am good and healthy..living in an area where AQI is near 50
People living in Delhi are basically living in a gas chamber rn.. Atleast some people use air purifiers at their homes and wear masks and glasses before coming out of the house... But I really am worried about the homeless too... They can't afford anything. Schools have been shut down for a brief period of time. Everything is so disappointing 😔😔
Hey, what do you want me to say, INCREDIBLE INDIA !
lol ok
Its not nice to comment in such a way cause ,i doubt that most people commenting here that live in Delhi or India have ever even tried to fix the problem
6yrs have passed since this video came out. Sadly, situation is still same. I am a native resident of this city, everytime year I despise winters the most.

Secondly, no, The most polluted Metropolitan, being the capital of the largest democracy in the world is not just our problem. It requires international criticism. if defending this country is what you want to do then voice yourself against Lead concentration in Yamuna, 3000 metric tonnes of garbage dumped at Ghazipur everyday and the slash and burn in Haryana, Punjab despite the introduction of harvesting machinery in 2014. andh bhakt mat bano mere bhai. 1/4 of the population in India is doomed to die by 2050 because of climate catastrophes.

lol, I worked there for an year. I had respiritory issues when I was there. not just in Delhi, but most of the places are filled with dust and polluted air. even the water is not safe to drink. Staying indoor with a purifier is the better option . we made alot of mistakes, we are still making many.. and we will pay for it..
As someone who just had to live through the pollution from the fires in California (which did top out as the worst in the world), I don't understand how the people in Delhi could stand being outside without a mask.

yes... this is true .. I recently shifted to delhi for my new job,
and damn .. streets are full of cars , and seems like it's impossible to travel through delhi during the peak hours
I personal think education and awareness will really help my country, its not only about delhi, there are other cities making too much pollution,
dude , leave that place if you care about your health. It fucked me up for some time.

I was in New Delhi last week and nothing has changed. Children there don’t even know that the sky is blue. It smells like an ever present chemical fire mixed with vehicle exhaust.
The reason my bro moved to Noida instead of Delhi for study and I moved to Allahabad instead of Delhi. Two things I hate pollution & population. And guess what my country tops in both. #lifeisajoke
Noida is as polluted az delhi
Cigrates banned . MPs and mister should travel by bus . Personal vehicles shall only be allowed on Sundays. Ricshaw should and must be electric.Then pollution will decrease.
In Netherlands everybody rides cycle vehicles are rare.
.. Or just stop the stubble burning in the nearing areas
Milan Shah not a soln
Vehicular and construction dust is having more than 80% share.
Je liegt keihard
I need one of those things to look how clean the air is here in the Netherlands
What type of air purifier that you use in the office that make so much of a difference in the air quality... It will be helpful for all at large..
Bruh the weird thing is that this smog isn't even Delhi's fault. Farmers in Punjab and Haryana (Delhi's north State neighbor) keep buring crop stubble. Which then mixes with the urban pollution.
where can i buy the clock thing in the begining of this video? anyone know about it?

The Legend So should there be more regulation on the pollution created by power companies and there should be more accessible alternative means of disposing trash?
But I agree that a bigger step towards more sustainable means of living needs to be taken. Here and even in my own household.
Much bigger than banning fireworks and leaving lights off, perhaps.
Carpooling is a nice place to start, tho. Let's get that trend going!
Tanmay Verma real reason behind it, burning of crops in haryana and Punjab..
We need to plant more trees ..Trees ..trees trees.. only plants can reduce the air pollution
India should learn from European Union. In European citizen go to work by bycicle., by public transport...unlike Indians .
Main problema problem is indians only think about Money and dont care about enviroment.
Indian government is not doing enough. yes they came up with the new emission standards and they have banned sales of bs3 vehicles from yesterday but this is not enough. You need to make more pedestrian or cycle areas and make public transport more efficient. Make more footpaths and not of shitty quality.
they berely do a "thing" mate...

Can u survive in Antarctica if you're comfortable in India's heat?
India is in a deadlock due to it's uneducated stubborn population and filthy corrupt politics. Smart people don't want to live here anymore. Giving education like teaching the importance of healthy environment and some basic living manners to every little child may make the upcoming generation better but still these politicians cu*t don't understand the importance of this. Making people aware can be step1 and then strict environmental laws will be the step2 as most people by now would consider this to be necessary.
But looking what's going on now I don't see this problems is gonna sort out in 50-60 years . It will only get worse in the 2020s.
Not even in 200 years lol.
