India is the largest emitter of anthropogenic sulphur dioxide in the world, as per the data released by environmental NGO Greenpeace on August 19, 2019. Anthropogenic sulphur dioxide is produced from burning of coal and it is known to largely contribute to air pollution.
The analysis of NASA data released by Greenpeace reveals that India has over 15 percent of all anthropogenic sulphur dioxide (SO2) hotspots in the world.
The SO2 hotspots were detected by the OMI (Ozone Monitoring Instrument) satellite.
SO2 emission is a significant contributor to air pollution and the largest source of SO2 in the atmosphere is burning of fossil fuels in power plants and other industrial facilities.
Air pollution has become a huge public health concern with 91 percent of the world's population living in areas where air pollution exceeds the guideline limit set by the World Health Organization (WHO).
As a result of air pollution, around 4.2 million people are dying prematurely every year.
