Question – Describe a place you visited where the air was polluted.
You should say:
– Where the place is
– When you visited.
– Why the air was not good.
– And explain how you felt about the place
- Pollution has become ubiquitous, making it challenging to find places with clean air.
- I want to discuss the extreme air pollution I encountered during my visit to New Delhi last year with my parents.
- Traveling by train and later hiring a three-wheeler, we felt a burning sensation in our eyes and noticed watering, realizing the stark contrast to the less polluted air in our small town in Punjab.
- Observing the locals seemingly accustomed to the pollution, I found relief after washing my face at my relatives’ house.
- My uncle explained that Delhi’s unplanned development, with industrial units scattered across residential and commercial areas, contributes to its status as one of India’s most polluted cities.
- Additionally, Delhi’s landlocked geography, hindered by the Himalayas, traps polluted air.
- Stubble burning in Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan exacerbates the issue, creating a thick smog blanket over Delhi during winter months.
- The severe health impact of air pollution includes a higher prevalence of chronic bronchitis.
- Despite my temporary visit, I empathize with my relatives who permanently reside in Delhi, facing the ongoing challenges of its polluted environment.
