🇮🇳 NEW | #India ambient #AirQuality winter snapshot is out now
❗️Winter pollution worsens compared to last year: 204 cities breach air quality standards, up from 173, from 1 October 2025 to 28 February 2026
⚠️ ZERO cities complied with the @WHO
@WHO 🥇🌿 Chamarajanagar, in the state of Karnataka, was cleanest city in India during winter 2025-26, w/average PM2.5 of 19 µg/m³
💡 The top 10 cleanest cities comprise eight cities from Karnataka, and one each from Madhya Pradesh and Meghalaya
@WHO 🇮🇳 CREA's winter 2025-26 ambient air quality monthly snapshot for India is now available here:

The Bokaro SAIL steel plant in Jharkhand, one of India’s oldest, is severely compromising child health in the surrounding region due to its air pollutant emissions.
The plant is emblematic of the fact that India still has no national standards for sulphur dioxide (SO2)
🇮🇳⚕️NEW | Health impact assessment: #AirPollution from #India's Bokaro #steel plant leads to some 270 low birthweight & 280 preterm births, 25 new cases of #ChildAsthma per year of operation
⚠️ Estimated cost of pollution ➡️ USD 79M in 2023

🇷🇺 NEW | REPORT | 4 YEARS OF WAR: Russian fossil fuel revenues tank to 27% below pre-invasion levels
📉 In 4th year of invasion, Russia's fossil fuel export revenues totalled EUR 193 bn: 19% year-on-year drop & 27% below pre-invasion
🇪🇺 EU’s imports ➡️ EUR 14.5 bn, down 36% YoY
🏛️ CREA recommends:
✔️ Tackle loopholes & gaps in sanctions
✔️ Tackle ‘shadow’ fleet - Russian fossil fuel revenues
✔️ Establish 'Know Your Customer (KYC)' standards for EU tanker sales
✔️ Cut off all G7+ services that facilitate transport of Russian hydrocarbons globally
🇷🇺 CREA’s in-depth report on Russia's fossil fuel flows after 4 YEARS OF WAR is now available here:
