Abstract

It is important to note that air pollution affects metro cities more than industrial cities in India, contrary to assumptions. Air pollution in Indian cities is primarily caused by the burning of diesel, petrol, gas, coal, biomass, waste, and resuspended dust throughout the year. National Capital Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Chennai all experienced an increase in air pollution levels in 2021, according to the annual average of PM2.5 in India.
