Bhagavad Gita 2.23 and 2.24 defines the characteristics of soul as omnipresent, omniscient and omni potent. Fire can not burn it, air can not dry it, water cannot wet it and weapons cannot cut it. The same also implies to the air pollution levels. Pollution can not affect the soul status. It can only affect the physical and subtle body and not the causal body.
Bhagavad Gita 3.14 shloka says further “ The All living bodies subsist on food grains, which are produced from rain. Rains are produced by performance of yajna [sacrifice], and yajna is born of prescribed duties”.
It defines that we are dependent on food which is dependent on rain and rain can be affected by man made obstructions. So pollution is man made and should be corrected by the man himself.
