Union Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change Prakash Javadekar on Friday said no Indian study has shown any correlation between pollution and shortening of lifespan.

“Let us not create a fear psychosis among people,” he told Lok Sabha in response to a query about studies that life expectancy is coming down due to pollution.

During the Question Hour, he said the government has been taking pro-active actions to curb pollution and that efforts are bearing fruits.
