The usual suspects in Delhi’s pollution crisis—vehicles and factories—garner substantial media attention. However, scrutiny reveals surprising contributors, including dust from construction sites and waste incineration. The latter, often ignored, adds to the toxin load in the air. A deeper look reveals that mere human habits and seemingly harmless activities exacerbate the pollution, making it a more complex issue than it appears at first glance.
Outdoor burning of wood and biomass for cooking in the outskirts spills over into the city, adding insidious layers to the smog.

In fact, the unnoticed causes of poor air quality may outpace even the most obvious suspects. The situation looks bleak, but hang tight, there’s more…

Understanding indoor air quality opens a new dimension to the pollution problem. What you read next might change how you see this forever.
