A study by the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air and Greenpeace found that air pollution is creating a global economic burden of about USD 2.9 trillion every year. For India, this figure is about USD 150 billion, erasing 5.4% of our GDP every year to air pollution-related costs. Such a tremendous economic cost clearly suggests that our current economic practices are getting unsustainable – not only environmentally, but also economically. We need a paradigm shift to reduce the economic burden that we bear due to increasing air pollution.

ECONOMIC BURDEN OF AIR POLLUTION
Various studies around the world have
shown that exposure to polluted air leads to
poor productivity at work.
In mild cases, it impairs cognitive and
decision-making abilities. If exposure is
continued, such mild cases result in an
increased number of sick leaves.
Investment in air pollution mitigation pays
back with improved productivity, reduced
medical bills and hospitalizations.

ECONOMIC BURDEN OF AIR POLLUTION
Damages caused by air pollution to ecosystems also
costs us money.
It increases water purification cost, increases prices
of food, and increases economic costs for all the raw
materials we get from nature.
It is clear that the economic burdens that air
pollution is causing will hamper our development as
a society.
Our efforts to reduce the economic burden will not
only generate profit, but will also help us in building
a sustainable, healthy and productive economy that
is resilient to the challenges of the future.
