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…
Comparison of Self-report to Biomarkers of Recent HIV Infection
Anti-mycobacterial activity of some medicinal plants used traditionally by tribes from Madhya Pradesh, India for treating tuberculosis related symptoms
Perceptions and Adaptations of the Coastal Community to the Challenges of Climate Change
This study is an attempt to assess the vulnerability of the coastal community in the coastal city region of Jamnagar in the Gulf of Kutch, India.
