Transboundary emission contribution to PM 2.5 concentrations in Indian cities
Targeting urban air quality improvements in India, the National Clean Air Program (NCAP) was launched in 2019 to reduce PM 2.5 concentrations by 20%–30% in 122 initial cities over a 7 year period (2017–2024). However, considering the regional nature of air pollution nationwide and the significant emission load from rural areas, a potentially large fraction of urban PM 2.5 might originate from emissions outside of a city’s boundary, i.e. transboun…
High risk from coincidence of extremes in particulate matter and heat in India
Exposure to high levels of air pollution and extreme heat stress has been individually linked to significant health and economic problems in India. However, not much is known about the threats resulting from the co-occurrence of these hazards, which have common meteorological drivers. In this study, we perform a country-wide joint risk analysis at the district level, examining the risks of chronic exposure to the joint extremes of particulate mat…
Reconciliation of energy use disparities in brick production in India
Energy conservation in brick production is crucial to achieving net-zero carbon emissions from the building sector, especially in countries with major expansions in the built environment. However, widely disparate energy consumption estimates impede benchmarking its importance relative to the steel and cement industries. Here we modelled Indian brick production and its regional energy consumption by combining a nationwide questionnaire survey on …
Reducing the burden of anaemia in Indian women of reproductive age with clean-air targets
Health and economic impact of air pollution in the states of India
BACKGROUND: The association of air pollution with multiple adverse health outcomes is becoming well established, but its negative economic impact is less well appreciated. It is important to elucidate this impact for the states of India. METHODS: We estimated exposure to ambient particulate matter pollution, household air pollution, and ambient ozone pollution, and their attributable deaths and disability-adjusted life-years in every state of Ind…
Global and national assessment of the incidence of asthma in children and adolescents from major sources of ambient NO 2
Pediatric asthma incidence has been associated with exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) in ambient air. NO 2 is predominantly emitted through fossil fuel use in land transportation, power generation and the burning of solid biofuels in households. We simulated NO 2 with a global atmospheric chemistry model, combined with a land use regression model, to estimate NO 2 exposure in all countries worldwide. The global asthma incidence among children …
A complete transition to clean household energy can save one–quarter of the healthy life lost to particulate matter pollution exposure in India
Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is a leading contributor to the disease burden in India, largely due to widespread household solid fuel use. The transition from solid to clean fuels in households has the potential to substantially improve public health. India has implemented large initiatives to promote clean fuel access, but how these initiatives will reduce PM 2.5 exposure and the associated health benefits have not yet been estab…
Climate co-benefits of air quality and clean energy policy in India
Anthropogenic fugitive, combustion and industrial dust is a significant, underrepresented fine particulate matter source in global atmospheric models
Global measurements of the elemental composition of fine particulate matter across several urban locations by the Surface Particulate Matter Network reveal an enhanced fraction of anthropogenic dust compared to natural dust sources, especially over Asia. We develop a global simulation of anthropogenic fugitive, combustion, and industrial dust which, to our knowledge, is partially missing or strongly underrepresented in global models. We estimate …
Bounding the role of black carbon in the climate system
Black carbon aerosol plays a unique and important role in Earth's climate system. Black carbon is a type of carbonaceous material with a unique combination of physical properties. This assessment provides an evaluation of black‐carbon climate forcing that is comprehensive in its inclusion of all known and relevant processes and that is quantitative in providing best estimates and uncertainties of the main forcing terms: direct solar absorption; i…
