The Centre for Science and Environment is organizing "Toxic Air and Our Health: Dialogue with Doctors" in association with the Indian Medical Association and the Indian Council of Medical Research. This is a dialogue with the doctors and air quality regulators on Clean Air and Public health.

All of us who travel on urban roads regularly and those who live close to roads, are at a serious health risk from vehicular air pollution. And according to estimates, about 55 per cent of Delhi’s population lives within 500 metre from such roads – and is therefore, prone to a variety of physical disorders.

Centre for Science and Environment joined hands with Indian Council for Medical Research and Indian Medical Association to organize a dialogue with the noted doctors – (respiratory physicians, cardiologists, pediatricians, oncologists), the air quality regulators, and health experts to track the newer concerns over health risks of polluted air.
