Urban Homes a Major Air Pollution Source: Studies
Context: Major emitters of the urban air pollution include Indian houses, transportation and power generation sectors. Key Highlights: Air Quality Index India In brief, the AQI is a number, according to which pollutants are present along with their concentration and health responses. The level is multiplied by the emissions of these eight key air pollutants – Particulate Matter (PM2.5, PM10), Ozone (O3), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Lead (Pb), and Ammonia (NH3) – and then summed up for creating the cumulative pollution.
