State Comparison
State-level Pollution & Health
A side-by-side ranking of every state. The pattern is clear: northern states carry both the heaviest pollution and the heaviest disease burden.
PM2.5 by State
Sorted high → low. Red dashed line = NAAQS annual standard (40 µg/m³).
Pollution vs Respiratory Burden
Each bubble is a state. Larger bubble = more districts. Up-and-right = double trouble.

Northern plain dominates
Delhi, UP, Bihar, Haryana and Punjab cluster at the top — all five states share the Indo-Gangetic geography that traps pollutants every winter. The same five also report the highest respiratory case totals.
