Certain words/expressions are given in bold in the passage to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.Radically changing monsoon patterns, reduction in the winter rice harvest and a quantum increase in respiratory diseases-all part of the environmental doomsday scenario which is reportedly playing out in South Asia. According to a United Nations Environment Programme report, a deadly three-km deep blantant of pollution comprising a fearsome cocktail of ash, acids, aerosols and other particles has enveloped this region.

From opening up virgin territories for oil exploration to relaxing the standards for drinking water, Mr. Bush’s policies are not exactly beneficial-not even to Americans we realize that we are all in this together and that pollution anywhere should be a global concern only be more tunnels at the end of the tunnel.Both official and corporate India is allergic to
