CHAIR-India: Climate, Health, and Air Pollution research in India
This international multidisciplinary consortium, funded by FORMAS (Sweden) aims to estimate daily fine particulate matter pollution (PM2.5)) and ambient air temperature at 1×1 km across India between 2008-2020 using spatiotemporal machine learning models.
CHAIR-India will link environmental data to health datasets, and study associations of short and long-term air pollution and temperature with mortality and cardiometabolic and respiratory disease in rural and urban areas across India. The project further aims to foster public awareness, collaboration and policy change by providing an interactive tool and engage multiple stakeholders and end users.
