In a special report on India’s air pollution crisis, Union Minister of State for Environment Kirti Vardhan Singh stated in Parliament that a direct link between air quality and lung diseases has not been firmly established. Countering this, Dr. Arvind Kumar, Chairman, Institute of Chest Surgery at Medanta, presents alarming evidence of "black deposits" on the lungs of teenagers and non-smokers. Dr. Kumar cites a study of 4,000 children in Delhi NCR, revealing that 60% reported respiratory symptoms and one-third had spirometry-proven asthma. He warns that lung cancer, once a smoker’s disease, is now prevalent among non-smokers and women, urging a national health emergency response similar to COVID-19.
