Well, scientifically, a significant portion lingers in the atmosphere, heating the planet for centuries, while some gets absorbed by oceans and forests. But from my life in Delhi, I feel that tonne goes straight into our lungs first, *yaar*. When I see my little students coughing through their harmonium lessons, I know that "thousand years" is a luxury; for us, that pollution becomes a *chhota-mota* but immediate problem of health right now.
