Noida and Ghaziabad are the main sources of PM2.5 pollution in Delhi. The lack of a unified approach hinders progress in combating air pollution. There is a need for the Uttar Pradesh government to conduct a source apportionment study to identify local sources of pollution in both cities, similar to what has been done in Delhi says Mr Suresh Ramasubramanya Iyer, Senior Fellow and area convener at the Centre for Air Quality Research of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI).

Exposure to fine particle pollution (PM2.5) has been found to increase the risk of anaemia, acute respiratory infection and low birth weight among children in India, according to a study published in the journal Nature Communications. The team from The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, and other institutes, also suggested that using 'total PM2.5 mass' to measure exposure to air pollution could "substantially underestimate" the true
