Living In A Gas Chamber

Maybe not an overstatement – The Toronto Star (Jan 2 2016) contained an article, "In China, India, Pollution is the Price of Growth." New Delhi's highest court gave a directive on December 3, ordering the Indian capital to immediately devise a plan to reduce severe levels of air pollution in the city, saying, "It seems like we are living in a gas chamber." 

In China, an estimated 1.6 million die prematurely each year from air pollution, or 4,400 people a day, seventeen per cent of all deaths.
