Key Points

Increased emissions from crop residue burning significantly elevate PM2.5 levels during the October-November period.
The highest PM2.5 variability is attributed to crop residue burning, especially in the Delhi National Capital Region.
Data was collected from multiple sites in Punjab and Haryana to assess the impact on air quality.
This highlights the urgent need for interventions to reduce crop residue burning and lower air pollution.

Implication

Observational analysis reveals increased PM2.5 levels linked to crop residue burning in Punjab and Haryana, indicating environmental health risks.

Abstract

High incidences of crop residue burning (CRB) in Punjab and Haryana during October-November is one of the major causes of elevated PM2.5 in Delhi National Capital Region (NCR). An estimation...
