METHODOLOGY
We will be measuring and analyzing the ambient air pollution of Delhi by the standards of Central Pollution Control Board, India. The parameters and standards we are taking is the concentration of the following pollutants :
Prime focus areas of our paper : Average air pollution level in Delhi , Air quality index of Delhi , and specific focus on the effects of Diwali and burning of agricultural crops on the

Air pollution is one of the biggest causes of environmental impact in any region. Therefore, air quality needs to be evaluated and maintained for avoiding health hazards. According to WHO, air pollution claims more than 2.4 million lives each year (WHO, 2002). Cities have to face more air pollution problems as compared to
Although thought to be “not a big problem” and “under control” by most people, pollution is making its way in being a serious and an unforgiving threat to society. Pollution a topic everyone hears and knows exists. What they don’t know is how serious of a problem it is already becoming. Many health issues are being reported now that are linked to air pollution and even the most severe weather places have encountered are linked to air pollution also. By society, not fully being aware of the true threat that pollution is making, it will only become a growing threat that they will be encountering.
Pollution refers to impurity into the environment of particles which has harmful effect on health. There are many forms of pollution, like air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution which impact health and environment. High air pollution level is responsible for health issues in Delhi. Over the last few years, the level of pollution has changed significantly in India and specifically in Delhi.Due to increased traffic on roads, traffic movement is slow which forces vehicles to move in lower speed which reduces efficiency and emission level increases. Another cause of vehicular pollution is increase in number of diesel vehicles, which is also a major contributor to ai
In this research paper, i will focus on What is air pollution?, What is causing air pollution?,What is the current air quality condition?What are the effects of air pollution on United States. I will discuss what are the changes in the Earth’s climate and weather and the ways of prevention
Which has proven that asthma is elevated by the exposure to exhaust of diesel-fuel engines in the Delhi region. (Bhola Gurjar, 2010)
The research aims to study the impact of industrial pollution on the health of people in I-9 and I-10 Islamabad. The study shows that majority of the people are suffering from asthma, disruption in sleep, hypertension, tuberculosis and a lot of diseases related to skin. There is no check and balance on the industrial wastage and harmful gases. Measure should be taken for the industrial wastage and also the industries should be far from the residential areas. Moreover high quality machinery should be used and should be properly installed. The awareness campaign should also be arranged to aware the industrialist about the harmfulness
Air pollution is one of the most actual environmental problems in the world. Increasing traffic density and energy consumption lead to increased pollution causing substances emissions in ambient air. It is a significant risk factor for multiple health conditions including lung cancer, respiratory and heart diseases. Therefore it is important to keep up with latest data about actual air quality to react timely and initiate appropriate environment management procedures when pollution levels rise to high (Snyder et. al, 2013).
The New York Times posted an article on November 7th titled, “Smog Chokes Delhi, Leaving Residents ‘Cowering by Our Air Purifiers’” that detailed the urgency of the issue. Deadly coarse and fine air particles reached concentrations that have been unheard of before, sixteen times the limit that India’s government considers safe. The personal damage sustained physically from daily exposure to these toxins is equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes a day, experts say. In an urban area as densely populated as Delhi, concern for the health of citizens is a top priority. Schools in Delhi cancelled classes for a period of three days to keep children, who are more vulnerable to long-term medical issues, inside. Citizens were worried, upset, and looking for a cause behind early
I conducted various types of research in finding out the connections between air pollution and the factors that contributes to it. Air is crucial for our survival
It is believed that the problem of air pollution began with the industrial revolution (circa 1750 -1850) which brought with it the increased burning of coal that fueled the engines upon which the wheels of the industrial revolution were being propelled. Air pollution issues have dominated international discourse in the last couple of decades as a result of its adverse effects on the climate system. But most important is the damaging effects that some of these pollutants in the ambient air have in the human body as there have been overwhelming evidence linking poor air quality with respiratory diseases, heart diseases and cancer (WHO, 2013a & 2013b). Because
The most important aspect of modelling air pollution during temporal and spatial change is the pollutants content which could stand for the air quality. For instance, the concentration of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and SO2 are used as the indicator of air pollution in this project. Model maps are needed, for example, by identifying pollution ‘hot-spots’, to show the distribution of air pollutant in spatial patterns, and to provide further estimates of human health conditions. Another product is the graph showed the temporal change of air pollution. This project should use the traditional way that makes the multiple line graphs for presenting the temporal trends in different locations on a GIS map, since the multi temporal dimensions of
Recently the DOE has taken some measures to carry out surveys on identification and control of polluting industries, protecting habitats, examining the use of compressed natural gas in industries, setting environmental standards and controlling river and automobile pollution on environmental management. It also conducts vehicular emission measurements at Dhaka city.
The ambient PM2.5 in Delhi is 15 times higher than the WHO guidelines, which is identified as the most significant pollutants threatening the public health. These fine and condensed particles affect the respiratory and cardiovascular health of people in Delhi. Results of studies show that the duration and intensity of the exposure to the PM2.5 determines the likelihood and severity of getting the lung diseases. Series adverse effects from the PM2.5 also give chance to cardiovascular disorders for people in Delhi. The statistical results indicate that the increasing tendency of mortality and morbidity in the recent years is closely related to the high staying-on concentration of PM2.5.
Smog-fighting is a real war of environment protection.The impact of smog on people’s living have been more and more deeply.The smog had became the biggest killer of our environment.So ,Smog-fighting is coming to all the public now . First we can find the real reasons to cause smog from the experts so that we can do something to reduce the pollution.Second,we can learn some experience from other cities; because It has been problem faced by many cities in the history ,such as Los Angeles in the U S and London in the U k.And then, drawing the attention to our government and call on our government to take their responsibility and control in the environment protection.After all these study ,we can clearly find
