Answer 4

Yes

Global air pollution is the principle cause of smog. The natural wind circulation patterns do not obey geographical frontiers and spread air pollution far away from source areas. Rich and industrialized countries generate more air pollution than under developed countries.  

India also gets affected by this Global air pollution. On local scale rapid urbanization and inefficient fuel use is the main contributor of air pollution in India. However increase in incidences of smog in India is the cumulative effect of global and local air pollution.

Today only global cooperation can  check air pollution and incidences of smog. Usually winter months see heavy smog as condensation of moisture adsorbs molecules of gases and fine particulate matter.

Earlier in India it was only cities like Calcutta (Kolkata) where smog was common almost throughout the year but now many more cites are affected by this menace.

It is a myth to say use of cow-dung etc as fuels is the main cause of air pollution in India. High energy consumers are the biggest polluters of environment. As an index  India  has lowest level of  per capita energy consumption (base year 2004) of 531 kgoe,  as compared to this, the energy consumption is over 4176 for Japan, over 4431 for South Korea, 1242 for China, 7913 for USA and 4732 for OCED Countries against the world average of 1767 kgoe.
