Abstract
The following article is an attempt to draw similarities in the condition of air pollution in China and India. It has looked at a few factors that affect air quality in the two countries and mentions the current air quality statistics. China has been suffering from pollution since a longer time than India as aggressive manufacturing in China began earlier and hence, environmental deterioration also suffered earlier as compared to India. So, in this article we look at whether India can learn from China’s experiences on the same.
Keywords: Air pollution, Environment Performance Index (EPI), Sulphur emissions, Yellow sand.
