Variations in the concentration, source activity, and atmospheric processing of PM2.5-associated water-soluble ionic species over Jammu, India

Sarita Bamotra et al.

Summary: This study investigates the concentrations, sources, and atmospheric processing of water-soluble ionic species associated with PM2.5 in Jammu, an urban location in the North-Western Himalayan Region. The findings highlight the seasonal variability and the crucial role of air temperature and relative humidity in the composition of PM2.5. The study also identifies the major sources and processes of PM2.5-associated water-soluble ionic species in Jammu using principal component analysis.

Size-segregated aerosols over a high altitude Himalayan and a tropical urban metropolis in Eastern India: Chemical characterization, light absorption, role of meteorology and long range transport

Abhinandan Ghosh et al.

Summary: This study focused on the chemical and optical characteristics of water soluble inorganic and organic components of aerosols at different sizes in high altitude Himalayan station Darjeeling and tropical urban metropolis Kolkata. The results showed that local meteorology and long range transport of pollution plumes were crucial in governing the temporal variation of aerosols at both sites.

Health and economic impact of air pollution in the states of India: the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Anamika Pandey et al.

Summary: The study estimated the impact of air pollution on human health and the economy in India. In 2019, air pollution led to 1.67 million deaths and an economic loss of $36.8 billion, accounting for 1.36% of India's GDP. The economic impact varied significantly among states, with low per-capita GDP states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar experiencing the highest losses.
