U.S. TECH ENTREPRENEUR Bryan Johnson and former Google engineer Debarghya Das say the fact that some Indian hotels are offering clean air as a service reflects the severity of air pollution in New Delhi and neighboring states Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab. The crisis has also spread to other metropolitan cities, including Mumbai and Kolkata. In mid-November, monitors recorded a "severe plus" air quality index of 493-more than 30 times the World Health Organization's limit-indicating dangerously high PM2.5 levels, the highest this year. According to WHO guidelines, 24-hour average PM2.5 concentrations should not exceed 15 micrograms per cubic meter more than three or four days annually. During his six-day visit to India to promote his book "Don't Die," Johnson shared on X a poster from the Oberoi Hotel in Bengaluru, showcasing guest room air quality at 2.4, achieved with smart air filters in every room.
