Consortium for Climate, Health and AIr pollution Research in India (CHAIR-India)
The Consortium for Climate, Health and AIr pollution Research in India (CHAIR-India) was established in May 2019 as a platform to convene researchers working to address the research gaps in health effects of air pollution in India. Exposure scientists and health researchers from across the country came together to explore the scope for collaborative work to enhance the evidence base for the health effects of air pollution in India.
Project Overview
Climate, Health and AIr pollution Research in India (CHAIR-India): Addressing gaps in achieving the sustainability development goals”is the first project within the consortium in collaboration with the Karolinska Institutet (KI), Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public health (HSPH), Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH), Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai ,Ben Gurion University of the Negev (BGU)and Centre for Chronic Disease Control (CCDC.
A nationwide PM2.5 and temperature exposure model has been developed from 2010-2020, at fine spatio-temporal resolution to study health outcomes and mortality in India.
Since the inception of the consortium, a nationwide PM2.5 exposure model has been developed, at fine spatio-temporal resolution, nation-wide temperature model and air pollution and temperature has been studied with health associations for mortality outcomes in India.
