Species planted should be ones that are most effective at trapping pollution, typically those with large leaves. Officials also need to account for things like wind patterns and tree spacing. If water is scarce, they’ll want to consider drought-tolerant varieties. The ability of certain moss cultures to filter pollutants such as particulate matter and nitrogen oxides from the air makes them ideal natural air purifiers

Make Cooling Panels From Farm Waste Instead Of Burning It And Fouling Delhi Air: A Scientist’s Solution

Agricultural fires in Punjab and Haryana cause about half of Delhi’s air pollution, according to a new Harvard University study. Daniel Cusworth, an atmospheric chemist at Harvard and co-founder of Green Screen, a US start-up, proposes a solution by converting the farm waste that is usually burned into cooling panels for the city’s poor, to protect them from extreme summer heat

Market-based solutions instead of command-and-control regulation could allow economic growth to coexist with cleaner air

A startup named Kurin System in India has come up with plans for a “City Cleaner” that will be 40 feet tall and 20 feet wide. It could purify 3Km radius 32 million cubic meters of air everyday. It may cost 2 Cr and needs 4-6 months to construct. Does not use China style ionisation

Mapped: Bad air days across cities

The pollution in Delhi and across the Gangetic Plains is usually blamed on smoke from cars, factories, and crop burning. These are major factors but are made worse by topography. Unlike other parts of the country, the region, which sits at the foothills of the Himalayas, traps cold air during winters. This means lower wind speeds and lower temperatures but greater pollution. In his recent book, The Great Smog of India, researcher Siddharth Singh, terms this problem as a ‘meteorological misfortune’.How big a role does this misfortune play in Delhi compared to other cities?

A Novel Approach to Understanding Delhi’s Complex Air Pollution Problem

With rising concerns about the steep increase in air pollution in the National Capital Territory of Delhi, several factors—particularly motorised transportation, construction, and stubble burning in neighbouring states—are being identified as contributing to this hazard. However, in order to make effective policy decisions, there is a need for a holistic approach that identifies the root causes of the problem. The use of system dynamics simulation offers a novel systems thinking approach to understand Delhi’s air pollution, taking into account the dynamic nature of the air pollution system as well as the complex interdependencies among the various factors and sources of air pollution.
