💨 Abstract

Former WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan suggests installing air purifiers in all schools to protect children from air pollution in cities like Delhi. She emphasizes that children are disproportionately affected by air pollution due to their faster breathing rate and shorter height. Swaminathan also suggests taking action against air pollution, replacing biomass with LPG, providing more subsidies for poor families, expanding public transport, and enforcing industrial pollution laws.
