TERI and ARAI's study report of the source apportionment of PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations in Delhi NCR takes a detailed look at the sources of pollution, their sub-sectoral break up. It also projects the future sectoral emissions and air quality, and tests several interventions that can reduce pollution in the region. This will enable development and testing of appropriate strategies for control of air pollution in Delhi-NCR.

Air pollution emissions arise from many sectors, including power, transport, industry, residential, construction, and agriculture. The resulting air pollution affects health, food production, water, and regional climate. Furthermore, since air pollution from one location travels within days to areas as far away as 1,000 km, coordination across cities and states is required, in addition to multi-sectoral coordination.
Many populations in India currently suffer from high burden of vector borne diseases, heat stress-related diseases, and malnutrition. These health problems are all sensitive to seasonal variations in temperatures and precipitation patterns. These short-term variations in temperature and precipitation as well as extreme storms have been observed to be increasing in intensity due to global climate change and thus are a challenge. The major Indian states affected by these climate- sensitive conditions (i.e.
