NEW DELHI: India's economic development has led to the worsening of air quality in major Indian cities, according to the results of a survey by The Energy and Resources Institute (Teri) in Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai.

The transport sector was ranked the highest followed by factories in and around the city as the second highest contributor towards air pollution in Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai.

While respondents from Bangalore rated factories as the highest contributor of air pollution followed by transport, those in Hyderabad rated construction activities as the worst offender followed by the transport sector.

The survey was conducted with a sample size of 4,039 respondents. Six themes were selected for the study - overall environment, air quality, water quality, forest/green cover, climate change, and waste and waste management.

Drinking water quality and availability had improved in all cities barring Hyderabad, where the respondents felt it had worsened, the survey found.
