Freshers Live reports that the burning of crop residue, a customary practice by Punjab and Haryana paddy growers has led to an estimated economic loss of over $30 billion annually, besides being a leading risk factor for acute respiratory infection, especially among children, has picked up after a delay owing to high crop moisture. A study by IFPRI and its partner institutes estimates the economic cost of exposure to air pollution from crop residue burning at $30 billion, or nearly Rs 2 lakh crore annually, for the three northern states of Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi.
