On a study, w.r.t population density levels between India and China, 1% increase in urbanisation let to 0.12% increase in emission level as compared to 0.24% in India.
India’s per capita emission has recorded the highest in the world, growing at a steady rate against the global average.
Socio- Economic status has as impact on the high level of per capita emission. Delhi has the highest emission rate in India linked to its high pollution level.
