9. Mumbai, India
Our Index Score: 38.2
The pollution levels in India’s capital have reached an all-time high. For particulate matter levels, Mumbai has about 104 mg per cubic meter. Despite being a major economic hub, Mumbai has had a surge in population that has contributed to increased pollution. The government of India hopes that it can transform the city, but pollution continues to afflict it.
Also, a population of 19 million has led to poor garbage disposal and occasionally undrinkable water. The Times of India reports that air pollution in this city has led to premature deaths of at least 80000 adults.
While traveling to this city, you should expect to find large heaps of garbage that have been disposed in many locations.
