NEW DELHI: (Jan 9) Nearly 44 per cent Indian cities face chronic air pollution, indicating a structural problem driven by persistent emission sources rather than short-term episodes, an analysis by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) has found.
However, only 4 per cent of these cities are covered under the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP), the report said.
Using satellite data, CREA assessed PM2.5 levels in 4,041 Indian cities.
