IIT Madras Lab Finds Vehicles Drive 25% of Delhi's PM2.5 Pollution
A new laboratory at IIT Madras, called the Integrated Atmospheric Chemistry and Aerosol Toxicity Analysis Laboratory, is now providing real-time data on Delhi's air pollution. The data indicates that vehicles are the single largest source of PM2.5 pollution in the city, accounting for about 25 percent. Secondary organic and inorganic aerosols, which form in the atmosphere, also contribute substantially to pollution levels across Delhi. The facility was inaugurated by Union Minister Jitendra Singh, with the aim of identifying and assessing the sources of pollution.
