Abstract
Delhi, being the capital city of India, faces a severe air quality crisis with significant environmental and health repercussions. This review article examines the multifaceted nature of Delhi's air pollution problem, focusing on key pollutants such as particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfurdioxide (SO2), ozone (O3), and carbon monoxide (CO). The sources and seasonal variations of these pollutants are analysed, highlighting the acute and chronic health effects on the city's population, particularly vulnerable groups like children, the elderly, and those with preexisting conditions. Environmental impacts are discussed, including effects on climate, vegetation, wildlife, and cultural heritage. Various measures and policies implemented to combat air pollution, such as the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP), the Odd-Even vehicle rationing scheme, and the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), are reviewed (Sultana, 2022, Simoni et al., 2014). Technological interventions like air purifiers and Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) emission standards are also explored. Comparative analysis with successful case studies from Beijing and Los Angeles provides insights into effective multi-faceted approaches. The article concludes that a comprehensive and sustained effort, integrating government policies, technological advancements, and community engagement, is essential to improve air quality, protect public health, and ensure a sustainable urban environment for Delhi.
