Dia Mirza says clean air is a human right, not a privilege

Actress Dia Mirza is also an environmentalist and often uses social media to share her views on the various issues pertaining to the massive climate change. 

On Monday, Dia used Clean Air Day to remind all that air pollution is not only an environmental problem, but also a public health crisis.

Dia uploaded a video on her IG saying, “Think of a child running onto a football field, a teenager training for a



race, children cycling, playing cricket, and simply being outdoors.

Every time they run harder, they breathe deeper. In too many parts of our country, that means breathing polluted air into developing lungs and bodies.”

Dia revealed that back in 2021, air pollution resulted in around 2.1 million deaths in India. Not just that, more than 700,000 children under the age of five died due to polluted air across the globe.
