Source Apportionment of PM2.5 & PM10 of Delhi NCR for Identification of Major Sources

November 22, 2016 to March 31, 2017
| Completed Project
| Environment | Air

This study carried out source apportionment of PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations in Delhi-National capital region (NCR) using two modelling-based approaches. The first approach relied upon monitoring and chemical characterization of PM2.5 and PM10 samples. The chemically speciated samples along with source profiles were fed into the receptor model to derive source contributions.
