Bengaluru has been identified as a non-attainment city under the National Clean Air Programme. This timely source apportionment of particulate matter (PM) helps understand the city’s emission sources and estimates the share of contributing sectors at different locations. Further, the information on PM2.5 and PM10 sources will help identify implementable policies and targeted measures to reduce their concentration in the atmosphere.
