Abstract

The atmosphere in Delhi and its surrounding National Capital Region (NCR) (Figure 1) is highly deteriorated due to hazardous air pollutants released by heavy traffic and industrial emissions, as well as burning of residues (residential, commercial & agricultural) and dust particles from construction & mining activities. Annually, ~ 5 million people worldwide, 0.6 million in India and 25 thousand in Delhi NCR alone, die prematurely due to air pollution, and this amount may increase to five times by 2050 (WHO, 2018).

COVID-19引发的封锁如何影响印度德里- ncr地区的空气质量?

德里及其周边国家首都地区(NCR)的大气(图1)由于繁忙的交通和工业排放释放的有害空气污染物，以及燃烧残留物(住宅，商业和农业)和建筑和采矿活动产生的粉尘颗粒而严重恶化。每年，全世界约有500万人因空气污染而过早死亡，仅印度就有60万人，德里NCR就有2.5万人，到2050年这一数字可能会增加到五倍(世卫组织，2018年)。
