TLDR
In this article, the authors present a system analytical perspective on management options that could efficiently improve air quality at the urban scale, having Delhi as a case study, and employ the newly developed GAINS-City policy analysis framework, consisting of a bottom up emission calculation combined with atmospheric chemistry-transport calculation, to derive innovative insights into the current sources of pollution and their impacts on ambient PM2.5, both from emissions of primary PM as well as precursors of secondary inorganic and organic aerosols.

Effect of lockdown amid COVID-19 pandemic on air quality of the megacity Delhi, India.

Susanta Mahato, +5 more
- 15 Aug 2020 - 
TL;DR: The study is thought to be a useful supplement to the regulatory bodies since it showed the pollution source control can attenuate the air quality.

Long-term trends and health impact of PM2.5 and O3 in Tehran, Iran, 2006-2015.

Sasan Faridi, +10 more
- 22 Feb 2018 - 
TL;DR: Investigation of the temporal variations of ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ground level ozone (O3) concentrations in Tehran megacity over a 10-year period from 2006 to 2015 and estimation of their long-term health effects including all-cause and cause-specific mortality found them to have contributed substantially to mortality in the city.
Journal ArticleDOI

Premature Mortality Due to PM2.5 Over India: Effect of Atmospheric Transport and Anthropogenic Emissions.

Liji Mary David, +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that reduction in anthropogenic emissions over India, as well as its neighboring regions, will be required to reduce the health impact of ambient PM2.5 in India.

How Much Does Large-Scale Crop Residue Burning Affect the Air Quality in Delhi?

Santosh H. Kulkarni, +8 more
- 19 Mar 2020 - 
TL;DR: For the first time, the state-wise contribution of post-monsoon crop-residue burning in the north-western states of India to surface PM2.5 concentrations in Delhi is quantified using several sensitivity experiments with WRF-Chem and FINNv1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitigation pathways of air pollution from residential emissions in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in China.

Jun Liu, +15 more
- 04 Feb 2019 - 
TL;DR: It is found that a comprehensive mitigation strategy for the residential sector in the BTH region would deliver substantial air quality benefits and reduce premature deaths attributable to ambient and indoor air pollution by almost one third.

A comparative risk assessment of burden of disease and injury attributable to 67 risk factors and risk factor clusters in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010

Stephen S Lim, +210 more
- 15 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimated deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs; sum of years lived with disability [YLD] and years of life lost [YLL]) attributable to the independent effects of 67 risk factors and clusters of risk factors for 21 regions in 1990 and 2010.

Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks in 188 countries, 1990-2013: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013

Mohammad H. Forouzanfar, +736 more
- 05 Dec 2015 - 
TL;DR: The Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factor study 2013 (GBD 2013) as discussed by the authors provides a timely opportunity to update the comparative risk assessment with new data for exposure, relative risks, and evidence on the appropriate counterfactual risk distribution.

Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks, 1990–2015: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015

Mohammad H Forouzanfar, +653 more
TL;DR: The comparative risk assessment framework developed for previous iterations of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 was used to estimate attributable deaths, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and trends in exposure by age group, sex, year, and geography for 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational risks or clusters of risks from 1990 to 2015.
