| Climate Change

Indoor air pollution is a critical issue in rural areas. The use of biomass in the traditional household cookstove of the rural areas is also an important source of atmospheric black carbon. Conventional cooking methods have also been reported as important source of ambient air pollution in different cities. Promoting cleaner fuels like LPG to remote rural areas has different issues. In West Bengal, many rural households still depend on cooking in traditional cookstoves using locally available biomass materials.

| Air

Develop annual and two seasons (winter and summer) Emission Inventory (EI) for the base year 2021 of all sources including non-point and biogenic and natural sources for the entire NCR (National Capital Region) for air quality management including air quality modelling, forecasting, source apportionment and policy decisions.

Scope and Role of Natural Gas in Mitigating Industrial Air Pollution

September 6, 2021

| Air

Some of the main objective of this project are: 1. Study of existing emissions policies and regulations applicable for various industries and estimate the potential reduction in emissions (PM2.5, PM10, C02 SOX and NOX) due to replacement of solid (coal/pet coke) and liquid (FO, Diesel and LPG) fuels by Natural Gas (NG) in the identified polluted industrial areas/clusters. 2. Assessment of potential reduction in water and land pollution due to replacement of solid and liquid fuels by NG in the identified polluted industrial areas/clusters.

Carrying out Source Apportionment and Emission Inventory study for Rishikesh City, Uttarakhand

August 27, 2021

| Air

The objectives of this study are to: 1. Provide ground level concentration of air pollutants in different parts of the city. 2. Select emission factors for different categories of vehicles with due consideration to variations in fuel quality, technology, size and vintage of sources, control systems, etc. 3. Select appropriate emission factors for other non-vehicular sources viz. industries, industrial and domestic fuel combustion, roadside dust, construction activities, generator sets, etc.

Air pollution is a global concern contributing to a wide range of health risks. According to the World Health Organisation data, around 7 million people die worldwide every year from exposure to the polluted air. More than 80% of people living in urban areas are exposed to concentrations higher than the level recommended by the WHO. India is one of the countries that are severely affected by air pollution. More than half of the world's twenty most polluted cities are located in India.
