Exposure to Air Pollution in India: What do we know, and where do we go next?

India is among the most polluted countries in the world, and a majority of its population lives in areas with poor air quality. Paradoxically, the quantity of data on urban AP exposure available in India is largely inadequate, and most urban policies do not take air pollution exposure in account. In her talk, Pallavi will provide an overview on air pollution in India, and discuss the nature of air pollution in New Delhi, and how that relates to the rapidly growing cities in India.
