| Abstract: | A clean air environment is prudent to healthy living. Studies related to the impact of ambient air pollution on public health are limited in India. Studies conducted by researchers at NIAS indicate that the natural baseline levels for Particulate Matter pollution in 10 megacities (with different climatological conditions) are significantly higher than the WHO’s Air Quality Guidelines levels. The exposure-response function cannot be universal due to the adaptive power of human beings. Therefore, coordinated national effort between MoES, MOEFCC, and ICMR is required to conduct scientific studies to determine the "exposure-response function" for Indians. |
