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...

Modeling setup for assessing the impact of stakeholders and policy scenarios on air quality at urban scale (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
ClairCity, a project funded by the EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, developed an innovative quantification framework aiming to assess environmental, health and economic impacts. The quantification framework consists of (i) an integr... Read More about Modeling setup for assessing the impact of stakeholders and policy scenarios on air quality at urban scale.
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.

Unprecedented reduction in air pollution and corresponding short-term premature mortality associated with COVID-19 lockdown in Delhi, India (2021)
Journal Article
Countries around the world introduced strict restrictions on movement and activities known as ‘lockdowns’ to restrict the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) from the end of 2019. A sudden improvement in air quality was observed global...

Traffic-related air pollution reduction at UK schools during the Covid-19 lockdown (2021)
Journal Article
Elevated urban Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) is a consequence of road traffic and other fossil-fuel combustion sources, and the road transport sector provides a significant contribution to UK NO2 emissions. The inhalation of traffic-related air pollution, i... Read More about Traffic-related air pollution reduction at UK schools during the Covid-19 lockdown.
Applying social learning to climate communications- visualising 'people like me' in air pollution and climate change data (2021)
Journal Article
Technological approaches to carbon emission and air pollution data modelling consider where the issues are located and what is creating emissions. This paper argues that more focus should be paid to people-the drivers of vehicles or households burnin...

Analysis of various transport modes to evaluate personal exposure to PM2.5 pollution in Delhi (2020)
Journal Article
Access to detailed comparisons of the air quality variations encountered when commuting through a city offers the urban traveller more informed choice on how to minimise personal exposure to inhalable pollutants. In this study we report on an experim... Read More about Analysis of various transport modes to evaluate personal exposure to PM2.5 pollution in Delhi.

Characteristics of tail pipe (Nitric oxide) and resuspended dust emissions from urban roads – A case study in Delhi city (2019)
Journal Article
Introduction: Personal exposure to elevated vehicle exhaust and non-exhaust emissions at urban roadside leads to carcinogenic health effects, respiratory illness and nervous system disorders. In this paper, an attempt has been made to investigate the... Read More about Characteristics of tail pipe (Nitric oxide) and resuspended dust emissions from urban roads – A case study in Delhi city.
