Poor air quality in Mumbai worries board exam students, with many avoiding crowded trains and Metro while travelling daily to their examination centres. Schools shift activities indoors, stagger dispersal timings and keep infirmaries ready to protect students’ health during

🌫️🫁 A public health warning grows louder ⚠️ The Maharashtra government says rising pollution levels in Mumbai are significantly contributing to lung cancer cases 🚑 How urgent is the need for cleaner air in India’s cities?👇 #Pollution #PublicHealth #Mumbai #India

Air Pollution isn’t just smog, it’s stealing childhoods. New report by Chintan shows kids in the city are suffering breathing issues, emotional distress & lost school days due to toxic air. That’s why we must not stop demanding clean air around schools and homes!

Clean air is a human right, not a luxury.

Air pollution isn’t just an environmental health crisis; it is a social justice issue. Don’t believe? Read this interview with Dr Prof Ravindra Khaiwal of PGIMER, Chandigarh, in ON AIR webzine. #Airpollution is causing low arithmetic IQ in kids. Read #OnAir 👉🏽shorturl.at/D7CuK

In our inaugural issue of On Air, a bilingual webzine devoted to air pollution, Dr. Prof Ravindra Khaiwal points out how kids who are exposed to chaula smoke (from cooking in their home for example), score lower in math. Air pollution is harming kids. And by making them unable to do

Something that stood out to me in this news was this question: What is stopping other states and their Chief Ministers from commissioning similar studies and discussing them publicly? We are all witnessing how pollution levels continue to rise in Maharashtra, including in its

Delhi's air is getting WORSE, not better. 48-hour peak PM2.5 (March 1): 📍 Narela: 290 µg/m³ 📍 Punjabi Bagh: 288 µg/m³ 📍 Anand Vihar: 273 µg/m³ 📍 Mundka: 235 µg/m³ ALL 29 stations exceed WHO (15) AND NAAQS (60) limits. A 2024 Lancet study estimates 3.8 million

Garbage from over-consumption gets dumped by the river, becomes a mountain; catches uncontrollable fire; students in its wake take ill from the smoke and are hospitalised; their college shuts down 💨 Dystopia is #Pune now! not an imaginary future scare. thebridgechronicle.com/pune/pune-mass…

Mid-March should mean cleaner skies in Delhi. Instead, researchers found PM2.5 levels at 100m reaching 160 µg/m³ — more than 10x World Health Organization (WHO)'s safe daily limit. ✍️Chetan Bhattacharji Clean Air Fund BotLab Dynamics IIT Delhi nature healthpolicy-watch.news/drone-busts-de…

Researchers are calling for expanded drone surveillance to better model Delhi’s air pollution and shift from emergency responses to long-term emission reduction strategies. ✍️Chetan Bhattacharji Clean Air Fund BotLab Dynamics IIT Delhi Nature Medicine healthpolicy-watch.news/drone-busts-de…

🌫️ A drone study has shattered the myth of Delhi’s “clean spring air.” Pollution 100m above ground was 60% worse than street readings — with PM2.5 levels far exceeding World Health Organization (WHO) safety limits. 🚗 Traffic alone may drive up to 50% of peak pollution. Short-term fixes aren’t enough.

Delhi keeps telling itself the smog is a “winter problem.” But this March, a drone study by IIT Delhi coordinated by Asst. Prof Ajit Ahlawat, found a 240,000 kg blanket of toxic PM2.5 hanging above the city, @ 60% worse at 100m than at street level. We’re not breathing cleaner

Study coordinated by Asst Prof Ajit Ahlawat aa (TROPOS/TU Delft) with IIT Delhi and international partners, published in Nature. It shows why integrating low cost drone sensors into monitoring networks could transform urban air modelling and policy. This drone study over Delhi

So much for paying a premium for “better air” and skyline views; turns out our 20th floor apartment may come with 60% more PM2.5 included in the price tag😅 Peek TV Sonal Mehrotra Kapoor Sucheta Dalal Hridayesh Joshi Shivam Vij Sanjeev Gupta Saurabh shukla Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw Sanjeev Gupta

Well, this is terrible. This drone study over Delhi shows PM2.5 levels at 100m can be up to 60% higher than what ground stations report. So living in high rises is worse for your health.
