Air pollution in Delhi: biomass energy and suitable environmental policies are sustainable pathways for health safety [1]

Air pollution causes severe environmental problems and has become a major health risk for livelihood in Delhi. With increase in population, there is an increase in emissions from various utilities as well. [2] The main source of air pollution is crop residue burning followed by vehicular and industrial emission. Crop residue burning during winter produces a thick cloud of smoke and causes major threats to human health by deterioration in air quality.
