Here is a 成人VR视频 expert who can comment on this issue:
Dr. Kakali Mukhopadhyay, a Senior Associate (Academic and Research) at the Agricultural Economics Program under the Department of Natural Resource Sciences at 成人VR视频, has written extensively about air pollution and health in India.
"While Delhi attracts those seeking jobs, quality education or merely the buzz of the national capital, it carries with it the increasing medical expenses and huge investments in air conditioners and air purifiers. The implications are far fetched, encompassing on economic, social terms and environment terms. The solutions lie not in short term but in long term policies which target the sustainable reduction in pollution levels with improved standard of living for people, maintaining the social and economic equity in the society."
