Abstract The 2014 publication of the World Health Organization's urban air quality database indicates that 13 of the world's 25 most polluted cities are located within India. President Obama and Prime Minister Modi recognized the socioeconomic implications of this question and agreed to launch bilateral air quality cooperation to help urban dwellers reduce their exposure to harmful levels of ambient air pollution and enable urban policy planners to implement corrective strategies. This application requests funds to support a workshop to initiate and facilitate discussions for establishing strategies for U.S.-India collaborations to improve air quality in India. The research advances and their contribution to new regulations and policies, however, is moving forward rapidly in some countries but less so in others. Numerous studies have evaluated the global risk of exposure to ambient particles and gases. A major finding of these efforts is the recognition that pollutant sources and thus the composition of ambient particles, for example, can vary tremendously from region to region or season to season. However, despite the recognition that India's urban centers have some of the poorest air quality in the world, the specific sources that contribute to the pollution of India's ambient air have not been well addressed. In order to efficiently and effectively focus remediation efforts, we propose to bring together researchers from the U.S. and India to establish pathways for the identification of India-specific pollution sources and the research and policy changes that will be necessary to `clean' the air.

摘要 2014年世界卫生组织城市空气质量数据库的发布 表明世界上污染最严重的25个城市中有13个位于印度境内。总统 奥巴马和莫迪总理认识到了这一点的社会经济影响 问题并同意启动双边空气质量合作，以帮助城市居民 减少他们暴露在有害水平的环境空气污染中，并支持城市政策 规划者实施纠正策略。此应用程序请求资金以支持 为建立美印战略发起和促进讨论的讲习班 合作改善印度的空气质量。国内外研究进展及其发展趋势 然而，在一些国家，对新法规和新政策的贡献正在迅速推进 但在其他国家，情况就不那么糟了。许多研究已经评估了全球范围内的 暴露在周围的颗粒和气体中。这些努力的一个主要发现是 认识到污染源以及环境颗粒物的组成， 例如，可能会因地区或季节的不同而有很大差异。然而， 尽管人们认识到印度城市中心的空气质量是世界上最差的 在世界上，造成印度环境空气污染的具体来源有 没有得到很好的解决。为了高效和有效地集中补救工作， 我们建议将来自美国和印度的研究人员聚集在一起，建立 用于确定印度特有的污染源以及研究和政策 这将是“净化”空气所必需的变化。
