Remember when @BryanJohnson had to walk out of a podcast in India because of the toxic air? He wasn’t overreacting. This is the reality we live in, and in this episode, we dive deep into exactly why we should care about the air we breathe.In this episode of Sustainable Tea with Shreya, @shreyaghodawat sits down with air quality experts Bhavreen Kandhari, Prof. Sagnik Dey, Jai Dhar Gupta, and Abhiir Bhalla to explore air pollution, why it’s not just a Delhi problem, and why it’s a pan-India crisis that stretches to neighbouring countries too. With 900 million people living in the Indo-Gangetic plain, we’re all affected by the invisible toxins in our air, especially fine particulate matter like PM2.5. These pollutants infiltrate our lungs, bloodstream, and organs, causing everything from respiratory issues to heart disease, diabetes, and infertility.The conversation gets real about the Air Quality Index (AQI) and why it’s not enough to show the true dangers. We also look at indoor air pollution, which is as harmful as the outdoor stuff. From burning incense to poorly ventilated kitchens, the air in our homes is far from safe. We talk solutions too, how we can tackle these issues at home and as a society, from cleaner cooking alternatives to demanding better air quality enforcement.If we don’t act now, the health consequences are inevitable. This episode is a roadmap to cleaner air for all of us, and not a wake-up call!In this Episode00:00 – Trailer01:47 - Introduction of our guests07:18 – Is air pollution only a Delhi problem?18:17 – What is indoor air pollution?28:57 – How to improve indoor air quality?53:07 – Is air pollution political?01:14:47 – Why should people care about polluted air?01:50:47 – Myths around air pollution people should know02:10:47 – How to make a difference?Shreya's Outfit CreditsOutfit - https://www.instagram.com/houseoffett?igsh=cmgzOW41bWhsdWZl #airpollution #pollution #AQI #cleanair #airquality #environment #climatechange #bryanjohnson #climateaction #nature #earth #delhipollution #climatecrisis #health #publichealth #healthcrisis #carbonfootprint #urbanpollution #pollutedcities #lunghealth #indiapollution #smog #citysmog #globalissues #fightpollution #toxicair #plants #smoke #smoking #who #stws #sustainability #podcast
