Bryan Johnson, technical entrepreneur and anti-aging spokesman who runs the campaign ‘Don’t Die’, recently mapped out his performance on Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath’s podcast due to poor air quality. Johnson, known for investing strongly in age-branch technologies, shared his discomfort during the podcast session and described India’s air pollution as a serious health threat.

Pollution causes ‘skin rash, throat and eye irritation’

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Johnson explained that he finished the podcast too early despite Kamath being a gracious host. “The problem was that the space we were circulating outside air, which made the air purifier I had brought me ineffective,” he noted, adding that the air quality index (AQI) inside the room was 130, with PM2.5 levels at 75 UG/m³-appropriate to smoke 3.4 cigarettes over a 24-hour period.

Johnson revealed that within three days after he was in India, he developed a skin rash and experienced neck and eye irritation. His concern stretched beyond personal discomfort; He emphasized that air pollution poses a greater threat than cancer and emphasized the urgent of India to tackle the problem.

“Air pollution has been so normalized in India that no one once notices more despite the science that its negative effects are well -known. People would be out of running. Babies and young children exposed to birth. No one had a mask that can reduce exposure markedly.

Johnson called for collective action and called for measures such as carrying masks and installing air filters to mitigate exposure to pollutants. “I’m unsure why India’s leaders don’t make air quality a national emergency. I don’t know what interests, money and power keep things as they are, but it’s really bad for the whole country,” he said, stressing that pollution control can provide more benefits than progress in cancer treatment.

Johnson’s remarks shed light on an ongoing concern over India’s pollution crisis, which results in renewed calls for stricter environmental measures and increased the public’s attention.

Obesity problem in the US

Johnson also drew parallels with health problems in his home country. “When I returned to the United States, my eyes were fresh to see what is normalized to me. I saw obesity everywhere. ” He said, noting that 42.4 percent of Americans are overweight.

Compared to long -term health threats, Johnson noted, “In many contexts, obesity is worse than the long -term air pollution. Why would not US leaders declare a national emergency about obesity? What interests, money and power keep things as they are but are really bad for the whole country. “

Johnson, who called for immediate action on both air quality and obesity, emphasized the need for societal and state efforts to tackle these health crises that advocate for greater public attention and politically driven solutions.
