## Combatting Air Pollution in Delhi-NCR
* Policy Proposal & Research Portfolio overview (2024-2026).

## The Crisis Now: AQI Levels (Jan 1, 2026)
* AQI monitored on Jan 1, 2026: Delhi (372), Noida (364), Ghaziabad (338).
* Anand Vihar recorded the highest severe levels at 421.

## Research Findings: Causes of Pollution
* **Meteorological:** Low wind speeds (<10kmph) and dense fog.
* **Vehicular Load:** Heavy traffic density across NCR.
* **Regional Disparity:** Inadequate monitoring in neighboring states like Haryana.

## Yearly Comparison (2024 vs 2025)
* PM2.5 levels dropped from 104 µg/m³ in 2024 to 96 µg/m³ in 2025.
* PM10 levels dropped from 212 µg/m³ to 197 µg/m³.

## Health & Environmental Impact
* 0% of days in 2025 met WHO safe limits.
* Risks include chronic respiratory disease, heart failure, and stunted lung growth in children.

## Policy Proposal: Proposed Solutions
* **Solution 1:** Integrated transit, carpooling apps, and electric bus expansion.
* **Solution 2:** Subsidized machinery for farmers to manage stubble without burning.
* **Solution 3:** Solar adoption mandates for industries in severe hotspots like Anand Vihar.

## Implementation Plan & Roadmap
* **Phase 1 (Months 1-3):** Awareness campaigns and construction site audits.
* **Phase 2 (Months 4-6):** EV subsidies and smog tower installation.
* **Phase 3 (Months 6-12):** Enforcement of industrial penalties and cross-state monitoring.

## Monitoring & Evaluation Strategy
* Increase monitoring stations in Haryana (currently only 14/29 cities have adequate data).
* Annual respiratory health surveys in schools near hotspots.

## Expected Outcome
* Goal: Reduce annual average PM2.5 from 96 µg/m³ to below 60 µg/m³ by 2030.
