one who suffers from shortness of breath and yet severe cough we, they can put medicines at pines. a, we have the visit to the doctors already constraint these, these for children of this age group. so the situation is not at all good. the family was in forced to buy it purifiers to help the ear quality at home. the situation is also become critical in the capital schools. after a week up no glasses. this deli primary school is open today, despite the high level of pollution, but white glasses have resumed, there is still a complete ban on outdoor activities. are you all ready? mercurial? a senior teacher says that toxic small in delhi, puts our students at great risk. is the majority of the children suffer from severe coughs and sometimes in faint. but the schools face
5:33 pm
a dilemma piazza teacher. the biggest challenge is the student's health is very important, which we are trying to make me. i'm 2nd biggest thing is that we don't want the schools to be shocked at this time again, because the to we are spend on making us actually deleted the education quality of the school on the students as well. guarding to the lead us their boat from state of global here. more than 100000 infants in india died within a mancha birth dubia pollution. another study has shown that one in every 3 children in delhi has impute lung function. this hospital in new delhi is experiencing a sewage, a patient because of the skis, toxic ear, pulmonologist, doctor nickle more the has seen hundreds of patients, mostly children suffering from respiratory problems. he says that situation is alarming and believes that delhi is toxic, yet to get
5:34 pm
a serious health crisis. children is a very, very ben gerber group because they're young. the lungs are still in douglas mentors . so during the development, due to the exposure to so much of pollution, that long before getting developed can get damaged. that damage can republican indian government is currently working on an ambitious linear program. it aims to got it pollution, but what the person for the next 5 years. but that is a long wait, but you don't like an i was already suffering from the problem. let's get more of this from joking. found the luck. i see the john list and alter of breathing care is injurious to your health. a book about air pollution in india, not going to europe. you have lived in delhi quite for quite some time which ranks as one of the world's most polluted cities. what is it like to spend
5:35 pm
a day in delhi for you today or it's awful. it's actually like smoking involuntarily. your ice thing, your throat just clock and start hurting. you get sore throat, you get sick. really often i get adult pollution headache pretty much every time. i step out, it's really bad. it's actually a human rights violation. critical human rights violation, but this happens particularly every winter in delhi because it faces the blanket of small that virtually shut everything down. and it's caused by stumble, burning on farms, making emissions, and construction does. the question is, why does this keep happening every year? and why is it not preventable? it is preventable actually. and then they make the lock down to the band. it showed us how it is indeed reversible as well when we saw clear blue skies cleans clean
5:36 pm
air in the winter of the quote with the 2 years everybody locked in for called it. but let me just quickly try and explain why this repeats itself. every single window, what happens is in north india, there is the maryan range, which sort of acts as a barrier to dissipate a pollution, especially the mazda, a harmful particles, as the tiny microscope it b, m 2.5 particles. what happens in the winter is when temperatures come down, there is something called inversion, where evolution gets trapped closer to the ground. so you're seeing more dense, a micro particulate matter which we then end up smoking because very, i really can't call it breathing, breathing. use an involuntary activity. and when you're constantly a smoking, smoke, and dust, then really it is a human rights. pollution. be done. deli done, then most of north and you actually don't want to make this about deli entire and again, jet it in start smoking and that's 510000000 people were pretty much in
5:37 pm
a gas chamber, but most of the winter. so the way you describe it, it sounds a lot like a climatic phenomenon. how do you prevent that? so it's not just, this is, this is i only touched upon the geographic and me to logical reasons. what happens in the winter is when thomas start start burning their crops, double that releases a lot of smoke and the winds are turning around that time. so the smoke comes down wind all the way to all the dense urban centers, all. so at that time, october in november is when india sees its largest festival, the festival of the valley. we just festival of lights, but seems to have become the festival of firecrackers. so you have like about a 1000000000 people bursting firecrackers. and even if everybody says well, i'll just burst a few, you can imagine what sort of there is in the air, not just micro particulate matter by now, because this has barium, nitrates, all sorts of chemicals. and now you're smoking chemicals,
5:38 pm
in addition to the carbon particles that you're in, healing, and these lead to episodic highs, which actually hospital admissions in the winter have shown to have risk due to rise sharply every single winter. and despite that, i don't think this is getting the kind of public attention or governmental attention that it needs. you know, i did want to talk to you about the governmental attention. but just to where you describe it, it almost sounds like people themselves don't care enough to stop doing the things that they are doing that are contributing to this kind of pollution. would you agree? so i think there isn't as much awareness and you know, if i want to give an example when it 1st started, not many people were aware of what this disease is and how that comes up and all of that. but the government is very good. it very quickly spreads this information through phone calls. you couldn't make a phone call without getting the pre recorded message on what it is and how it homes, you know, predict nothing like this has happened for it,
5:39 pm
but used in which actually kills many more people. evolution is killing almost $2000000.00 people every year in india, and that's many more than cobra. and yet it isn't treated as a public health emergency, which it undoubtedly is. evolution actually is the most home will, if it goes is mom, then disease and it's already been war or, you know, any kind of even smoking in its way up there is the most harmful public health emergency. and yes, it is not given that attention by the government. all right, so one is the awareness part of it. what about other solutions? you also go found of an angel care for in your line of work. are you seeing enough solutions that people are working on? yes, there are people who are coming up with innovative solutions. but you know, you really need in a situation like this. you can't have a small number of people walking in silos with innovative solutions. you really need the entire force of the government and the corporate sector. there is
5:40 pm
a lot of industrial usage. there is a lot of big, you know, been use and we have prox double bonding, which is completely avoidable. and which contributes almost 44 percent of winter air pollution to the north of parts of the country. and that is completely avoidable. you also have things like firecrackers, which in fact my group, a supreme court lawyer was one of the co founders in my group edition to the supreme court and had banned from 20171819. but despite that, of course, enforcement is not strong enough. so you have people, despite it being unlawful, any legal burst firecrackers, going ahead and doing that because they are not aware of how, how badly it's affecting them, their young ones and their previous generation relieve a variable that, i mean, thank you so much for joining us. today dorothy ponder lubbock order from apple newsome to land degradation. it is a serious concern in indian agriculture which use
5:41 pm
a significant amount of chemical fertilizers to grow food crops. excessive chemical use ultimately strips to land of its nutrients leaving it non arable. but a new initiative in the southern indian state of entrepreneurs is helping reverse that trend. farmer e p. my know, has recently changed the way he farms. he has started using natural foot lighter and best to fight better free of chemical death which has normative boosted his crop built. it has improved the quality of his land devoted furnace. only growing body under grown. not only that, although only capsule after that, oh, well, when i can reduce niger for me, almost, i am going all types of tables and india, chemical fertilizers are often houston farmed land, the feel that or were tilt and usually a single crop with planted each year distract
5:42 pm
a 5th cause loss of nutrients from thawing and increase the risk of death certificate in a process of once for it. they land turning into dust, climate change, it's worth the problem. then pictures are rising and rainfall is becoming more if a killer the most important thing to keep in mind is that land is finite, right? and 70 percent or more of land has been converted from its natural state for human use. that doesn't leave us a lot of land to convert going forward when we consider the food garden and other needs. natural farming from the study store unproductive land. it uses my details made from godaddy. go using brown sugar extracted from sugar canes, and other natural ingredients. my lady has had thousands of families make 13. she said that he kind of her natural farming that we are booking the book. it is
5:43 pm
very inexpensive. and lawyer explained. lillian book i'll input side made from the local materials that are available most of the day, monday for what they are. they're really so dead weight cost less that is it some in st. before them that is also encouraging. but skinning up natural farming will be a real challenge and that's it for today. there's of course more stories from the region on our website in the denver dot com, forward slash asia for back again tomorrow. at the same time. see you then, bye up guitar. exciting sport in terms controversial political term. we're there for youth with ports and background information. everything about the 2022 world cup. starts november 20th on
