Clean Air Bill proposes health levy on top polluters
A draft Clean Air Bill proposes a direct health levy on the 500 largest industrial polluters, with proceeds funding respiratory care in the worst-hit districts. Air pollution shaves 5.3 years off average life expectancy in north India. Industry bodies call the levy 'double taxation'. Public comments are open till August 15.
