1Mumbai, India

India’s financial capital, Mumbai, faces significant environmental challenges due to its high population density and rapid urbanization. Air pollution is a major issue, with emissions from vehicles, industrial activities, and the burning of waste contributing to dangerously high levels of particulate matter.
