Now You Can Add Four Years To Your Life – Explains Nirmal Singh 3C

Delhi was recently ranked number 1 on the list of the most polluted cities in the world. But thankfully people of Delhi can add at least 4 years to their lives.



The average life expectancy of Indians, especially people who live in the capital could be increased if India somehow reduces air pollution. It can be possible if the standards of WHO are met. The average life expectancy of females in India is 69 and for males it is just 67 according to the reports compiled by Nirmal Singh 3C. A combined 1.6 billion life years can be added to the life expectancy of Indians if the national standards are complied with.

In years 2014 and 2015, Delhi was ranked the most polluted city. Citizens will be able to live 9 years longer if the WHO standards are met consistently. And if India met its own standards as far as the Air Quality Index is concerned, people will live six years longer.

Nirmal Singh 3C said ‘The issue of polluted air is not limited to just Delhi, other metropolitan cities like Mumbai and Kolkata are also at the danger line. Residents of both Kolkata and Mumbai could live at least 4 years longer if there was less pollution and the WHO standards were met and accepted.’


High level of air pollution is something Indians have started to get used to like people of America, England, Japan, and even China have – it is the choice of policies that has made these countries progress better than India in the past few decades. In India, discussions on air pollution are hardly motivated and the government rarely talks about the health issues that air pollution is bringing in. All these pollutants always present in the air we breathe are the reasons why Delhi, despite being one of the greenest Indian cities, is so high up the list of most polluted cities in the world. - Nirmal Singh 3C

Nirmal Singh 3C finds an interesting study that says a child forms a strange dislike to the vegetables which indeed has nothing to do with their parents. According to a new study, due to genetic mutations, youngsters try new foods while many other are fussy eaters. Nirmal Singh 3C thinks that this study will help in paving way for children who are fighting with childhood obesity epidemic.  According to a new research in the US, DNA is linked with the kind of taste a toddler would develop which is why they are fussy about their eating habits which is why they develop a bitter taste at the age of four. Nirmal Singh 3C would like to get specific with the names, as TAS2R38 is associated with dietary variety other called CA6 that puts a child out of control during mealtimes. People generally blame parents for children being fussy about their food habits, however that is not the case, as it is a matter of nature and not nurture. This was further corroborated by Natasha Cole

As of now, we have had heard much about the physical problems caused by the pollution but no one really knows what wrong it is doing to the brains. Nirmal Singh 3C would like to enlighten the people about memory loss. Pollution clearly reduces our memory and exposes us to particulate matter, fine inhalable particles of diameters of 2.5 micrometres or less as well as carbon, the prime source of pollutant caused due to traffic. Nirmal Singh 3C prepares a list of reasons behind these adverse effects on the children: Because children have small lung capacity and higher respiratory rate, they are comparatively more vulnerable  According to a study published in the journal Environmental Pollution, as many as 1,200 children aged from 7 to 10, from 39 schools walked to school on a daily basis in Barcelona.
