TI  - Urban air quality in mega cities: a case study of Delhi City using vulnerability 
      analysis.
PG  - 257-65
AB  - Air pollution is one of the major environmental problems in India, affecting 
      health of thousands of 'urban' residents residing in mega cities. The need of the 
      day is to evolve an 'effective' and 'efficient' air quality management plan 
      (AQMP) encompassing the essential 'key players' and 'stakeholders.' This paper 
      describes the formulation of an AQMP for mega cities like Delhi in India taking 
      into account the aforementioned key 'inputs.' The AQMP formulation methodology is 
      based on past studies of Longhurst et al., (Atmospheric Environment, 30, 
      3975-3985, 1996); Longhurst & Elsom, ((1997). Air Pollution-II, Vol. 2 (pp. 
      525-532)) and Beatti et al., (Atmospheric Environment, 35, 1479-1490, 2001). 
      Further, the vulnerability analysis (VA) has been carried out to evaluate the 
      stresses due to air pollution in the study area. The VA has given the 
      vulnerability index (VI) of 'medium to high' and 'low' at urban 
      roadways/intersections and residential areas, respectively.
