Air pollution remains a critical global challenge, with severe health implications for millions of people worldwide.
In a significant step towards addressing this issue, researcher from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur has published ground-breaking research in Nature Communications journal, shedding light on the sources and composition of particulate matter (PM) in Northern India that are harmful to human health.
Contrary to the common belief that reducing overall PM mass will reduce health impacts, this comprehensive study highlights the importance of addressing local inefficient combustion processes – such as the burning of biomass and fossil fuels, which also include traffic emissions. Highlights the need to effectively reduce health risks related to particulate matter and their associated impacts in North India.
