As the pollution levels in Delhi reach extremely hazardous heights, AQI has been around 500-900 for a couple days now, I thought I could share this map I made for a book that aims at showing humanity’s footprint on Earth, in a collection of maps, infographs and texts.
The bottom map shows the share of deaths partly attributed to air pollution
More of my work on my [website](https://www.perrinremonte.com/fraccueil-1) for those interested and a [link](https://www.fnac.com/a21526119/Laurent-Testot-Notre-empreinte-sur-Terre) to the book!
looks like the Himalayas create a similar effect as the San Gabriel mountains around LA — trapping the smog. I guess India/Pakistan inevitably have to do similar types of severe pollution intervention that California did. Los Angeles was well known for its thicc smog in the 1970s.
Delhi is the worst pollution I’ve personally experienced in 60 countries visited. And I grew up in 70s LA smog. Don’t go to Delhi this time of year.
RIP
As a resident of Kanpur (see the first map), fortunately the pollution hasn’t been so bad yet like last year.
How old is the map? It got 2006 Aral Sea
the aqi here 714 and i cant look out of the window
looking at this, gotta say it’s pretty wild how we’re legit effin‘ up our planet
No sympathy for countries that have 1.4 BILLION population. That’s mother earth telling you to go back 100 years.
What is causing it? What is the main pollutant?
What’s the deal with Papua New Guinea? I’d guess it has pretty loose air quality regulation. But it’s also very rural and has very few cars per capita.
It doesn’t stop at the Nepal border. It passes it and continues towards the Himalayas and ricochets back into Nepal creating a double effect. Right now the aqf in my area is 162 though it’s got a lot to do with our citizens and govt too.
And because of Himalayas Nepal has to suffer from this as well
I’m so stressed I have to breathe 100-150 AQI air index everyday!
Why only one country from Central Asia in dark brown?
