Air pollution is no longer just a matter of pollution, but it has become the biggest health crisis that directly endangers human life. According to the recently released Lancet Countdown report, prepared in collaboration with WHO, more than 17 lakh people died in India in 2022 due to exposure to the smallest particulate pollutants like PM 2.5. PM 2.5 contains such small particles that they can penetrate deep into the lungs and cause serious diseases. In such a situation, let us know what is there in this report of WHO.

What is in this report of WHO?

It has also been said in the report that this number is much higher than in the last 12 years. That means the risk of air pollution is continuously increasing and it is having a deep impact on health. According to the Lancet report, deaths due to air pollution in India are now at worrying levels. According to the report, there will be more than 1,718,000 deaths due to human-caused air pollution in India in 2022, which is 38 percent more than in 2010. The contribution of coal and liquid gas in this is about 44 percent. At the same time, 3,94,000 deaths occurred due to the use of coal alone, out of which 2,98,000 deaths occurred due to the use of coal in power plants. At the same time, 2,69,000 deaths occurred due to use of petrol in road transport.

Air Pollution and Climate Change Alert

The report warns that the impact of air pollution and climate change is very serious in India. In 2024, India will face an average of about 20 days of heat waves per person, and about one-third of these will be directly attributable to climate change. Not only this, heat related deaths have also increased by 23 percent.

Experts say that air pollution has made India one of the most affected countries in the world. Kolkata-based pulmonologist Arup Haldar said that deaths due to air pollution in 2022 were three times more than deaths due to Covid-19 that year. This figure clearly shows the dangerous nature of air pollution and its wide-ranging economic and social impact on human health. The report has also estimated the economic loss. The value of premature deaths due to air pollution in 2022 was approximately $339.4 billion, which is equivalent to 9.5 percent of India’s GDP.

Till now, Iceland was one of those rare countries where not a single mosquito was found. But recently, three mosquitoes were caught in a town called Kjos, of which two were female and one male.

Local resident Björn Hjaltason saw these strange insects in his garden and immediately recognized that they were not normal. Later the Iceland Institute of Natural History confirmed that these are mosquitoes of the Culiseta annulata species, which can survive even in cold areas.

Iceland's cold climate and frozen water bodies were not at all conducive for mosquitoes to breed. Mosquitoes are cold-blooded creatures, which cannot regulate their body temperature. Therefore, they need warm, moist and stable water so that they can lay eggs and reproduce. For this reason, there was no sign of mosquitoes in Iceland till now.

Scientists believe that the arrival of mosquitoes in Iceland is a direct result of global warming. A rapid increase in temperature has been recorded here in the last few years.

According to reports, Iceland's temperature is rising four times faster than the rest of the Northern Hemisphere. In the month of May 2025, the temperature in many areas remained above 20°C for 10 consecutive days.

A record of 26.6°C was set at Eglistadir Airport, which was the hottest May day ever. This increasing temperature and humidity has now created a favorable environment for mosquitoes.

While the presence of mosquitoes has now started in Iceland, Antarctica is still the only continent in the world where mosquitoes do not exist. The reason for this is the extreme cold there, which always keeps water frozen in the form of ice. Neither the eggs can hatch, nor the larvae can survive. That means Antarctica is still completely free from mosquitoes.
