    1. Only the elite who can afford air purifiers can breathe safely – it's a form of apartheid.

    1. He never smoked a day in his life but doctors told me his lungs were damaged. Why would that happen to a person if he is not smoking? It happened because he was working, like me, on the streets of Delhi.

    2. Like every mother, I want to see my children run and play without fearing pollution.
