It has been solved and explained by KD Live Experts under the guidance of Neetu Mam and they have tried to elaborate the concept used in Reading Comprehension Questions.</p><h2 id="content-id-9168235407-3"><b> Comprehension On Reading Comprehension Questions</b></h2>Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

Rising urbanisation, booming industrialisation, and associated anthropogenic activities are the prime reasons that lead to air pollutant emissions and poor air quality. It is expected that by 2030, around 50% of the global population will be residing in urban areas (Gurjar, Butler, Lawrence, et al. 2008). More than 80% of the population in urban areas is exposed to emissions that exceed the standards set by the World Health Organization (WHO 2016). Air pollution is one of the key global health and environmental concerns (Nagpure, Gurjar, Kumar, et al. 2016) and has been ranked among the top five global risk factors of mortality by the Health Effects Institute (HEI 2019). According to HEI's report, particulate matter (PM) pollution was considered the third most important cause of death in 2017, and this rate was found to be highest in India. Air pollution was considered to cause over 1.1 million premature deaths in 2017 in India (HEI 2019), of which 56% was due to exposure to outdoor PM2.5 concentration and 44% was attributed to household air pollution. As per WHO (2016), one death out of nine in 2012 was attributed to air pollution, of which around three million deaths were solely due to outdoor air pollution.

The rising trends in population growth and the consequent effects on air quality are evident in the Indian scenario. For example, the megacities of Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata combined hold a population exceeding 46 million (Gurjar, Ravindra, and Nagpure 2016). Over the years, there has been a massive-scale expansion in industries, population density, anthropogenic activities, and the increased use of automobiles, which has degraded the air quality in India (Gurjar and Lelieveld 2005). In the last few decades, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other emissions resulting from anthropogenic activities have increased drastically (Gurjar and Nagpure 2016).

As per the WHO (2016) estimates, 10 out of the 20 most populous cities in the world are in India. Based on the concentrations of PM2.5 emissions, India was ranked the fifth most polluted country by the WHO (2019), with 21 of the top 30 polluted cities being in India. The Indian cities, on average, exceeded the WHO threshold by an alarming 500%.
