Ludhiana, India
From series “Top 14 Most Polluted Cities of the Planet”
Ludhiana is one of the most densely populated cities in India. Over the past 10 years, the number of their population has increased more than twice, and is now about 3.5 million people. Ludhiana is one of the largest industrial centers in India, although there are no really large establishments here. The number of small industrial centers is simply huge. There is probably no type of product which is not produced here.

The concentration of pollutants reaches 251 points today in Ludhiana. Inhalation of air in the city is as harmful as smoking.
