Decadal growth in emission load of major air pollutants in Delhi

Saroj Kumar Sahu, Poonam Mangaraj, and Gufran Beig

Data sets

Gridded Surface Emission Data for Delhi-NCR Saroj Kumar Sahu, Poonam Mangaraj, and Gufran Beig https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7715595

Short summary

The developed emission inventory identifies all the potential anthropogenic sources active in the Delhi NCR. The decadal change (2010–2020) and the changing policies have also been illustrated to observe the modulation in the sectorial emission trend. Emission hotspots with possible source-specific mitigation strategies have also been highlighted to improve the air quality of the Delhi NCR. The provided dataset is a vital tool for air quality and chemical transport modeling studies.
