Cities in India among the most polluted, W.H.O. says May 8, 2014
PM concentration in Delhi exceeds permissible limits
Delhi : PM10 = 229 µg/m3 | Beijing : PM10 = 108 µg/m
London: PM10 = 46 µg/m3 | New York : PM10 = 16µg/m3
Seoul : PM10 = 46 µg/m3 | Sydney : PM10 = 17 µg/m3
Annual average PM10 concentration in major cities (Source: WHO Database, May, 2016)

➢ Why Indian vehicles emit excessive pollutants ?
GIST South Korea Project Findings:
Estimated reduction in BC emission with the US emission level
(Ref : Sharma and Chung, 2015)*
51 ~ 175 Gg/year emission reduction
17, 800 Gg BC ~ 0.88 W/m2
If India adopts US emission levels
-0.0025 ~ -0.0087 W m-2 reduction in BC forcing
Cohen and Wang ,2014 ; Bond et. al, 2013
If India adopts US emission levels
51 ~ 175 Gg of BC emission reduction amounts to 0.046–0.159 B carbon
credits
0.046–0.159 B carbon credits equivalent to 0.56–1.92 B US $
Dirty Fuel (High Sulphur, Fuel Adulteration)
Lax Emission Norms
Older Vehicles and Poor Maintenance
Missing Emission Control Technology
Overloading/Congestion
Missing Fuel Economy Standards

Mitigating Air Pollution | Alternatives to Conventional Fuels
IllustrationLife Cycle Assessment (LCA) of vehicle emissions
Selected fuels : Diesel, Petrol, LPG, CNG, Biodiesel, Ethanol, Hydrogen Fuel Cell and Electricity.
Total economic costs (capital costs + operating costs) on per km basis are the highest for battery electric vehicles (electricity fuel).
Combining environmental and economic impacts, hydrogen fuel cell is the best performing fuel technology.
