Capacity-Building Workshop for Clean Air: Kalaburagi
The Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy in collaboration with the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board organised a capacity-building workshop on implementing the 'Kalaburagi City Micro Action Plan' at the District Science Centre, Kalaburagi, on 11 March 2022 at 10 a.m..
H2 – The Nuts and Bolts
The Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy organised a webinar titled ‘H2 – The Nuts and Bolts’ to explore the opportunities and challenges involved in developing a green hydrogen economy in India.
Eminent panellists discussed the nuts and bolts of building a green hydrogen economy in India during the webinar, which was conducted on 16 March 2022 from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Satellite-Based Mapping of PM2.5 for Kanpur
Regulatory air pollution monitoring in India is mostly limited to urban areas. Without a dense network of monitors, it is difficult to capture the fine spatial variations of PM2.5, one of the major pollutants with severe implications for human health.
Using satellite-based products to estimate PM2.5 can help generate high-resolution gridded spatial maps at a significantly lower cost. These spatial maps can be useful for policymakers, urban planners and developers, and health researchers. They can also be instrumental in guiding clean air action plan for the city.

Satellite-Based Mapping and the Quantification of PM2.5 in India
Regulatory air pollution monitoring in India is mostly limited to urban areas. Without a dense network of monitors, it is difficult to capture the fine spatial variations of PM2.5, one of the major pollutants with severe implications for human health. Using satellite-based products to estimate PM2.5 can help generate high-resolution gridded spatial maps at a significantly lower cost. However, there are challenges and limitations in converting the satellite columnar aerosol optical depth (AOD) into surface PM2.5.
Characteristics and Health Risk Assessment of Fine Particulate Matter and Surface Ozone: Results from Bengaluru, India
Urban air pollution is a complex problem, which requires a multi-pronged approach to understand its dynamics. In the current study, various aspects of air pollution over Bengaluru city were studied utilizing simultaneous reference-grade measurements (during the period July 2019 to June 2020) of fine particulate matter mass concentration (PM2.5), aerosol black carbon mass concentrations (BC), and surface ozone (O3) concentrations. The study period mean PM2.5, BC, and O3 were observed to be 26.8±11.5 µg m−3, 5.6±2.8 µg m−3, and 25.5±12.4 ppb, respectively.
