The pollution in Delhi is like nothing I have seen anywhere else on Earth. Honestly, during my business trip there I couldn't wait to leave because feeling like the air is actively trying to kill you, all the time, is a horrible feeling.

I concur. The pollution becomes evident at the airport, inside the hall you already see and smell the smog and you are still inside a building. Going outside you think you're in the middle of a wildfire.

We've HVAC at our place in Delhi, population is only a problem for poor people.

God forbid you ever want to go outside, not run aircon all day or happen to be poor

Bubbles of privilege are never a real solution to endemic societal issues. What will you do when you don't even have any electricity to run the HVAC on?

In most third-world regions with similar pollution people don't even have a reliable electric power grid.
