In a shocking revelation, India is home for about four out of the five Most Polluted Cities in the World.
As per the World Health Organization (WHO) data, Zabol in Iran was ranked as the city with Worst Air Pollution. Its because of the months-long dust storms in the Summer season. Whereas, The next four places in Top 5 were occupied by Indian cities Gwalior, Allahabad, Patna and Raipur.
Surprisingly, India's capital New Delhi which is believed to be most polluted fared better than these cities. It was ranked 9th in the survey.
The Measurement was done based on the amount of particulate matter under 2.5 micrograms per cubic metre of air. Several cities in few countries can't be included in the ranking because of lack of monitoring system.
