TL;DR: In this paper, the ambient air concentration of PM10 and heavy metals at six different sites (including three sub-urban and three rural) in Roorkee, India were assessed and the most significant sources of elevated PM10 concentrations at rural sites were road dust, traffic exhaust, tire abrasion, industrial emissions, and oil lubricants use at vehicle servicing centers.

TL;DR: Although bus commuters are exposed to fine particle concentrations up to 2 times lower than the worldwide average, it is affirm that inhalable particles in the MASP bus terminals pose a high carcinogenic risk to the daily users of those terminals, mainly those in the most susceptible groups.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an emission inventory of methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), ammonia (NH3), nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2) and CO2 from various agricultural activities and wetlands in Delhi area using an emission factor and activity based approach between the years 2001 and 2011.

TL;DR: The findings of this work are important in estimating concentrations of much harmful fine particles from coarse particles across distinct environments and useful in source identification of particulates as differences in the percentage of PM2.5 can be attributed to characteristics of sources in the diverse ambient environments.

TL;DR: In this article, a guidance document summarises best practice regarding green infrastructure (GI) implementation for improved urban air quality and reduced pedestrian exposure to air pollution, and recommends recommendations for typical urban environments.
