By Global Leaders Insights Team | Dec 02, 2024

Tech millionaire and age-reversal advocate Bryan Johnson witnessed the severe air quality issues in Mumbai firsthand, drawing attention to the ongoing pollution crisis in urban centers such as Mumbai and Delhi during his recent visit.

Johnson's first hand experience in Mumbai revealed the intense air quality challenges. "Even with air purifiers in my hotel room and wearing an N95 mask outside, my throat and eyes burn," he posted on X (formerly Twitter), describing the pollution as a "pretty serious health situation."

Highlighting the urgency, Johnson presented alarming statistics about India's environmental crisis: the country is the third most air-polluted in the world, with 83 of the globe's 100 most polluted cities located within its borders. He specifically cautioned residents of Delhi and New Delhi, stressing that wearing N95 masks is "crucial" when spending time outdoors.

The entrepreneur, famous for his rigorous age-reversal methods, is in India to promote his book "Don't Die." Despite carefully planning his trip bringing his own food supply and adhering to strict health protocols he couldn't avoid the immediate impact of the toxic air.

During his visit to Mumbai, Johnson had a discussion with Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal and comedian Tanmay Bhat, with 50 attendees selected from 1,100 applicants. His next destination is Bangalore.

His remarks align with those of local residents and health experts, who have long raised concerns about the risks of prolonged exposure to toxic urban air.
