IIT Kanpur, IIT Delhi and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) have formulated a real-time source apportionment and forecasting for advanced air pollution management in Delhi.
Delhi is covered in a thick layer of smog as the air quality remains in the 'Severe' category. Despite a drop in cases of stubble-burning in Punjab and Haryana, which is seen as a contributor to Delhi's poor air quality, the AQI is still hovering in the 'Severe' category.
IIT Kanpur, IIT Delhi and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) have formulated a real-time source apportionment and forecasting for advanced air pollution management in Delhi. The real-time index calculates the sources of air pollution to help understand the major contributors behind the national capital's worsening air quality.
A three-day data of PM 2.5 or Particulate Matter 2.5, is being considered for reference to understand the major contributors to air pollution in the national capital. PM2.5 pollutants are so small that they can enter the bloodstream, causing adverse health impacts
