IIT Jodhpur researchers publish a study in Nature Communications, identifying sources and composition of particulate matter in Northern India, emphasizing the need to address local inefficient combustion processes to mitigate health impacts.
IIT Jodhpur researchers publish a study in Nature Communications, focusing on air pollution and health effects in Northern India. The study identifies sources and composition of particulate matter (PM), emphasizing the need to address local inefficient combustion processes like biomass and fossil fuel burning, including traffic exhaust, to mitigate health impacts. The researchers' findings underline the significance of targeting specific pollution sources rather than just overall PM mass reduction in devising effective mitigation strategies under India's National Clean Air Programme (NCAP).
