Millions more suffer from asthma and other respiratory diseases, heart disease and stroke that are attributed to air pollution, said Anumita Roy Choudhury, during the CII conference on Wednesday.
She further said that, recent studies analyze the health risks posed by nanoparticles, which are so small that they can enter our bloodstream and central nervous system. Nanoparticles are less than 100 nanometers (nm) in diameter.
