Growing air pollution poses a serious health risk in India.
The Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy has completed Emission Inventory and Source Apportionment studies for Bengaluru.
While Bengaluru’s deteriorating air quality is a cause for concern, interventions targeted at polluting sources can help reduce pollution levels, according to the studies released by the Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP).
The studies, “Emission Inventory and Pollution Reduction Strategies for Bengaluru” and “Identification of Polluting Sources for Bengaluru: Source Apportionment Study”, point to transportation and road dust as the biggest contributors to air pollution in Bengaluru city.
