My dissertation explores how environmental toxicity is experienced and articulated in Delhi, which is one of the world’s most polluted capital cities. Based on multi-sited fieldwork across the city, I focus especially on air pollution and how people living and working in different parts of the city and across various spectrums like age, profession, gender, class and caste make sense of and experience this phenomenon. I write how chronic toxicity generates forms of endurance that challenge dominant models of ‘climate emotions’ centered on urgency, crisis, or collective mobilization. Instead, I analyse how living with pollution emerges as an ordinary condition of survival, where harm is normalised and responsibility diffused. To do this, I employ theory from political-economy and phenomenology, and contribute to anthropological discussions on atmosphere, eco-emotions and the everyday experience of climate-altered worlds.
