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.
