NEW STUDY: Air pollution from India’s stubble burning leads to USD 35 billion economic losses, poses significant health risk
Living in districts with air pollution from intense crop residue burning (CRB) is a leading risk factor for acute respiratory infection (ARI), especially among children less than five years, in northern India. Additionally, CRB also leads to an estimated economic loss of over USD 35 billion annually. These are the key findings of a new study from researchers at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and partner institutes. The study estimates—for the first time—the health and economic costs of CRB in northern India. Source: IFPRI South Asia Office

Among states too, while overall utilization has improved, high malnutrition states are relatively lagging.
