While New Delhi may be the "smelliest", and once was the dirtiest, the city has taken aggressive steps to reduce pollution (including the use of CNG vehicles) and left Beijing atop the dust heap. The rankings for particulate pollution (soot, dust, fine particles), which is most associated with respiratory problems and premature death, are as follows: Beijing, Kathmandu, Dhaka, New Delhi, Calcutta, and Shanghai. Congratulations. http://www.iht.com/images/2006/12/15/web.1215gpollutesub.jpg http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/12/15/news/pollute.php

I have recently been to both Beijing and New Delhi. There is no fucking way that the air quality of any place in Asia is any worse that Delhi's. I'm sorry. Delhi is foul in a way I found it hard to even imagine. Beijing is just massively polluted
