The forecasted data for the population in India exposed to PM2.5 pollution levels exceeding WHO recommendations shows a gradual decline from 81.93% in 2024 to 80.34% in 2028. This downward trend continues from 2023, where actual figures were marginally higher. Year-on-year analysis reveals small percentage decreases, emphasizing a slow but consistent improvement. These changes suggest a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) that shows a modest decline in pollution exposure over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends worth monitoring include the implementation and effectiveness of governmental and international environmental policies, technological advancements in emission reduction, and public awareness initiatives that may further influence exposure levels.
