From raising awareness to a behavioural change: A case study of indoor air quality improvement using IoT and COM-B model (2023)
Journal Article

The topic of indoor air pollution has yet to receive the same level of attention as ambient pollution. We spend considerable time indoors, and poorer indoor air quality affects most of us, particularly people with respiratory and other health conditi...

Characteristics of real-world gaseous exhaust emissions from cars in heterogeneous traffic conditions (2021)
Journal Article

In this study, researchers have explored real-world driving conditions and developed emission factors for 58 passenger cars using on-board emission measurement technique while driving on five different routes in Delhi. The measured average emission f... Read More about Characteristics of real-world gaseous exhaust emissions from cars in heterogeneous traffic conditions.
