goodhelth.jpgReality bites. India at its worst.
Environmental pollution in India results in a quarter of children deaths. In Delhi, air pollution causes one death every hour. High concentrations of DDT are recorded in mother’s milk and foetal blood. It gets worse. More than a million die every year due to water pollution. A mutated environment is leading to a sick India.
