💨 Abstract

A Parliamentary Committee has advised the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) to develop a comprehensive plan to study the effects of air pollution and propose measures to mitigate its adverse health impacts. The committee noted that air pollution is now affecting small towns, not just big cities like Delhi. It recommended establishing an Environmental Health Regulatory Agency for effective environmental governance to prevent non-communicable diseases.
