Program for Computational Reactive Mechanics (PCRM)
Transport of air pollutants over the Indian Region
1. Summary
The goal of this study, sponsored by the USAID/India, is to trace the air pollutants resulting from various sources in India, among which the energy activities have the major contribution and from trans-boundary contributions (air pollutants coming from across the globe). Energy activities in India are the major contributors to air pollutants. Specific objectives include:
- Identify “hotspots” within India with respect to air pollutants, impact on human health, and economic development.
- Correlate pollutants’ concentration levels at specific geographic areas with respiratory diseases and agricultural yields.
- Propose air pollution mitigation strategies for policy makers.
