The air quality index (AQI) is an "index" determined by calculating the degree of pollution in the city (as an average) or at the monitoring point and includes five main pollutants
In order to assess the role of meteorology as a diffusing or non-diffusing agent, this paper presents a 20 year analysis of the effects of meteorology on air pollution and has considered Delhi for pilot analysis. The study will be extended to 10 more cities in 2010. <br>
Singapore is the first city in the world to implement electronic road pricing (ERP) in September 1998. The ERP or congestion pricing system was successful for one important reason - the city operates a widely accessible public transport system (road and rail) which can support the shift to car-free transport.
