Bengaluru's air pollution levels are rising faster than most residents realise, with new data showing a sharp increase in PM2.5 concentration, frequent spikes in AQI touching 180-200, and worsening pollution from traffic emissions, construction dust, and poor road conditions. With over 1.23 crore vehicles on the road, studies now confirm that 64% of Bengaluru's pollution comes from vehicular emissions, making it one of India's most traffic-polluted cities. Experts warn that Bengaluru is inching closer to a Delhi-like air quality crisis, as long-term exposure to toxic air increases the risk of asthma, cardiac diseases, cognitive decline, and respiratory illnesses. Alarmed by the trend, the Karnataka government has begun drafting a comprehensive air pollution action plan, including the creation of an expert committee to address rising emissions, dust control, mobility planning and city-wide monitoring. As Bengaluru's pollution trend worsens, the demand for cleaner air, stronger governance, and sustainable urban transport solutions has never been more urgent., Bengaluru News, Times Now
