Another global study has said it yet again. Delhi NCR is the most polluted region in the world. While Delhi is the most polluted capital, Gurugram tops the list of the most polluted cities in the world, according to a Greenpeace report.
India hosts 15 out of 20 most polluted cities in the world with Gurugram and Ghaziabad being the most polluted cities in the world followed by Faridabad, Bhiwadi and Noida being in top six with Delhi on the 11th spot.
The report, Global Air Pollution 2018, was officially released on Tuesday.
The report accompanies an extended online interactive display of the world's most polluted cities, allowing further exploration of air quality across different regions and sub-regions in 2018, it said.
"The real-time status of all included locations, together with many more, can also be explored through the IQAir AirVisual Air Quality Map, which brings together live air quality readings in one accessible place," the NGO said.
The report measures the air quality in terms of PM2.5 data as aggregated through the IQAir AirVisual platform in 2018, it said.
