💨 Abstract

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) opposed a Lancet study that linked poor air quality to increased mortality rates in 10 major Indian cities. The CPCB claimed the study's data was not absolute, and the deaths couldn't be solely attributed to pollution. The CPCB also highlighted limitations in the study, such as the variability in death registration systems and the lack of cause-specific mortality analysis.
