about the

Air Quality Analysis at the following different locations in India.

Ravindra, K., Sidhu, M. K., Mor, S., John, S., & Pyne, S. (2016). Air pollution in India: bridging

the gap between science and policy. Journal of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive

Waste, 20(4), A4015003.

The above literature integrates the policies set by the Indian government, in addition to the

relative science behind the concentration of air and its effects on human life. Ravindra et al.

(2016) information bridge an argument between science and policies, highlighting how policies

set by Indian aims at deteriorating the air quality in India and the health impact that is brought by

the prevalence of the policies that the Indian government set. Reference is given throughout the

context of the paper concerning the latter scholars whose work exemplifies the extreme

importance of air quality maintenance in India. The latter scholarly work offers a great emphasis

on the biological processes involved in mercury, NO2, and Oxides intake. Concerning original

medical practices in their peer-review journal, Kavindra et al.'s book offer insight into the

damage that could be caused if Indians stick to the same policy of the law concerning the

ecosystem.

National Academy of Sciences, 117(46), 28640-28644.


Ravishankara et al.'s article is used in the context of the paper to highlight the indoor pollutants and the

strategies that could be practiced to minimize indoor pollution. With a focus on the Indian

community and its' response to pollution, the article offers a reference that aims to insist on how

pollution could be avoided, emphasizing the reduction of indoor pollution. Ravishankara's article

has been greatly referenced in the paper, particularly on air pollution and its effect on human

health.

Sharma H. K., Ishfaq A.T.I., & Jadon, N. (2016). Assessment of Ambient Air Quality with Special

Reference to NOx and its Health Impacts on Local Population in Gwalior M.P. Journal of

Chemical and Environmental Sciences. Vol 4 pp 79-87

Sharma et al.'s work reflect on air pollution caused by nitrates and other pollutants in the air. The above

literature offers great references in the dissertation, thanks to how the scholars dissect each

pollutant relative to its effects on the human body. The literature obtained from Sharma et al.

works highlights the different problems associated with health concerning pollution in India.

Sifakis, N., Aryblia, M., Daras, T., Tournaki, S., & Tsoutsos, T. (2021). The impact of COVID-19

pandemic in Mediterranean urban air pollution and mobility. Energy Sources, Part A:

Recovery, Utilization, and Environmental Effects, 1-16.

Sifakis et al.'s work showcase the impact that coronavirus had on the air quality in India. To keep up to

date with the current situation and air quality in India, the paper has drawn a relative referral to

the above article to highlight factors such as the effect of lockdown on air pollution. The above

article is also peer-reviewed and is used to expand on the after-effects of lockdown on air quality

and the interventions that should be adapted in India.

recent trends in the control and improvement of indoor air quality. International journal

advances in adsorption materials and catalytic oxidation. Journal of hazardous materials,

405, 124138.health, 17(8), 2927.

Tran et al.'s work is another work that showcases the effects of air pollution in India in the context of

India's indoor pollution. Indoor pollution is one of the menaces that is given little consideration

yet has huge effects on an individual's health. This is particularly to most children and bedridden

patients in Indian homes. Therefore, the above article shines a light on the prevalent activities

that happen indoors that support air pollution. The article also offers interventions and

mitigations for avoiding indoor pollution.

Vadrevu, K. P., Eaturu, A., Biswas, S., Lasko, K., Sahu, S., Garg, J. K., & Justice, C. (2020).

Spatial and temporal variations of air pollution over 41 cities of India during the COVID-

19 lockdown period. Scientific reports, 10(1), 1-15

The above article is used in the dissertation to highlight the different concurrent pollutants in most

Indian cities. The article offers a quantitative account of the pollution in major cities in India and

the causes of the latter pollution. The article is a major reference to the radical pollution that is

happening highly in the populated cities of Delhi.

Environment, 204, 142-150.

Particulate matter is a major ingredient in low air quality in India. The above article diagnoses how air

pollution has been a factor that contributed to mortality thanks to the particulate matter (P.M)
concentrations in India. The article offers a quantitative analysis of how India's populated cities

incur P.M based on factors such as industries and excessive use of cars.

Thanks to the social comparison of the amount of pollution excreted to the ozone in India, the article is

one of a kind. The paper references low and high-income individuals, aiming to argue the urban

excretions and rural air emissions. The article offers great reference to the article based on its'

comparison of different social geographies of India.

Chintan Y. Pathak, Hiren C. Mandalia D. Roy and R. B. Jadeja (2014)

Chintan Y. Pathak, Hiren C. Mandalia D. Roy, and R. B. Jadeja (2014) studied the

comparative analysis of ambient air quality of Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar in Gujarat. Both the

cities have been reviewed based on land use patterns and meteorological conditions. According

to the latter scholar, it was noted that air pollution in the above cities was highly recorded thanks

to the vast industrialization process that are currently ongoing in the cities. As the latter cities are

huge in manufacturing, there were lots of records that pointed out a that great amount of

pollutants was released into the ozone layer. The number of pollutants in the ozone layer led to
the production of Acid Rain, which polluted the land, as discussed further in the dissertation. The

above scholars integrate different arguments into their context, highlighting how many different

meteorological conditions resulted from the heavy amount of pollutants resulting in different

land use and patterns in India. As economic growth is inversely determined by agriculture, the

above scholars correctly highlight the needed interventions that would ultimately result in better

farm production by Indians. The suggestion offered by the scholars highlights the radical need

and benefits that India would obtain in the case where India chooses to treat their air quality.
