As Covid-19 spread across the world, countries began to restrict people's movement in order to prevent the disease's spread. The lockdown measures resulted in significant reductions in environmental pollution from vehicles, planes, and industry, resulting in large reductions in nitrogen dioxide. Nitrogen dioxide, as we know, is acutely hazardous at very high quantities, producing airway inflammation.
Long-term exposure to it and other pollutants, on the other hand, has far-reaching health consequences ranging from stroke and heart difficulties to lung cancer and chronic respiratory disorders. The elevated Covid risks for persons with some of these pre-existing illnesses can be extremely dangerous. The fact that people were more likely to become ill with severe Covid if they lived in a more polluted environment remained elusive.
Emissions are now rising, indicating that the dramatic improvement in 2020 was only a temporary respite.

On average, 5% of daily mortality is associated with air pollution. Every material in the air which could affect human health or have a profound impact on the environment is defined as air pollutants.

According to the WHO, Major pollutants and effects on human health are:

𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 : directly associated with the onset and progression of the lungs and heart diseases.

𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝-𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞 : Ozone induces a variety of toxic effects such as morphologic, functional, immunologic, and biochemical alterations.

𝐒𝐮𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐝𝐞 : Exposure to SO2 can cause damages to the eyes, mucous membranes, the skin, and respiratory tracts.

𝐍𝐢𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 : Nitrogen oxides may increase the risk of respiratory infections.

𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝 : Exposure to Pb is manifested with numerous problems, such as high blood pressure, infertility, digestive and renal dysfunctions, and muscle and joint pain.

𝐂𝐡𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐬: CFCs contribute to the loss of the protective ozone layer, which blocks ultraviolet rays from the sun. This exposes more people to UV radiation, which can cause skin cancer.

Cooking in whatever form is a act of controlled combustion operation, and emissions are unavoidable. It exposes people to dangerous quantities of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide. All of the emissions from cookstoves, in addition to being a substantial contributor to air pollution levels, leave all of us vulnerable to a variety of respiratory and cardiovascular ailments, whether we live in cities or villages.
According to a study led by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Use of fossil fuels for cooking results in approximately 300-400% higher concentration of NO2 than with electric
stoves.

However, you can improve the situation by taking the following simple steps:
● Use adequately sized chimneys for exhaust gas removal.
● Clean your burner timely, as low oxygen flow can result in incomplete combustion and release of more toxic compounds
● Wear N95 grade mask while cooking

According to the study, particulate matter PM 2.5 increased by 70%, while PM 10 increased by 61% between 2012-13 and 2019-20 in Pune. The massive increase in car production over the last seven years has been one of the key contributors to this increase in pollution.
When compared to the other sources, the transportation sector was determined to be the largest generator of PM2.5 emissions.
Although industrial production has increased over the years, emissions have increased at a slower rate than in other sectors; however, the increase in emissions was greater in Pune than in Delhi.
Change in PM emissions as a percentage over the last seven years (2013-2020).

While the problem of outdoor air pollution is well understood around the world, there is a lack of understanding about the invisible air pollutants indoors and how poor it can be. Indoor air quality is influenced by the habits of the residents – fuels used for heating and cooking, customs, traditions and habits and concentration of outdoor air pollutants.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐢𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧?
Sources that release gases or particles into the air are the primary cause of indoor air quality problems in homes. Primary forms of smoke are by igniting incense sticks or burning coal/wood (still the predominant cooking method in rural areas).

𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:
1.Use energy efficient smokeless stove.
2.The kitchen should have good ventilation for free inflow and outflow of air.
3.Wherever possible, use electronic lighters than match sticks.
4.Whenever possible, use LPG/Solar cookers instead of coal / wood.

1.Monitor: To get an accurate picture of the air pollution problem in India, we'll need roughly 4000 continuous monitoring stations. Unfortunately, we only have 600 manual monitoring stations and less than 100 real-time monitoring stations at the moment.

2.Hotspot Identification: Pollution hotspots can be spotted using real-time AQI monitoring, which gives a reading between 0 and 500, indicating Good-Hazardous air quality.

3. Assess health and economic impacts: According to the World Bank, air pollution cost India about 8.5 percent of its GDP in 2013. It is the second most serious risk factor for public health, after malnutrition, accounting for 6.4 percent of all healthy years lost.

4.Create Awareness: We must promote communication that demonstrates how short-term investments in clean air have a long-term impact on future healthcare costs.

5.Incentivize renewable energy: Green energy is the most effective way to improve air quality and reduce global carbon emissions, thus it's critical to support a variety of initiatives and provide incentives for renewable energy sources.

6.Support clean modes of transport: Clean transportation research and development, as well as lowering emissions from gasoline-powered cars, are critical.

𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 :

We need to measure the emissions that contribute to ozone formation, using satellite based observations. measurement of such emissions leads to better monitoring , cooperative management and implementation of strategies.

𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 :

Ozone moves with the wind across borders, cooperation across administrative boundaries at regional, national and subnational levels helps ensure that management practices actually improve air quality and public health.

𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 :

society influences community-level behavior and leads to new policies by, supporting green infrastructure development, encouraging more people to use public transport.

Ground Level ozone damages agricultural crops, forests and plants, reducing their growth rate. With proper management and monitoring we can reduce the damage caused to our environment and ecosystem drastically.

Both extreme heat and air pollution have severe negative effects on the human body. Extreme heat increases the likelihood of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, but can also worsen chronic ailments. Air pollution is known to lead to asthma, heart disease, and other severe health effects.

When a person experiences air pollution in addition to another simultaneous stressor, they become more susceptible to both.

It is hard to say exactly what effect prolonged exposure to the double threats of heat and air pollution would have on human health. The results, though sparse, do suggest that more people die when the two conditions co-occur.

With rising pollution, the air is increasingly becoming unbreathable. This is not only affecting our lungs, throat, eyes but also our skin as well. Keeping windows open and having homes well ventilated is no longer an option. The air outside might put one at a greater risk of diseases!

When it rains, most of the common air pollutants and pollen in the air are washed away, helping to increase the quality of the air. This phenomenon is called Wet deposition.

But sometimes after rain, the sky is still full of smoke and air pollution. This happens because it’s easier to wash away larger particles. The effect of rain on PM 2.5 is close to zero. But even for large particles, the effect of moderate rain is close to 10% or less. The most violent rains have an effect closer to 30%.

Any electronic product, or product containing electronic components, that has reached the end of its functional life cycle is referred to as electronic waste, or e-waste. When e-waste is disposed of informally by dismantling, shredding, or melting the products, dust particles or contaminants, such as dioxins, are released into the atmosphere, causing air pollution and harming respiratory health.

Mercury, lead, cadmium, polybrominated flame retardants, barium, and lithium are only a few of the harmful elements contained in electronic waste.
