Abstract

The construction sector has emerged as a significant yet often overlooked contributor to worsening air quality in India. Exploring the link between construction activities and air pollution, this article shows that heavy-duty diesel equipment used on construction sites lead to NO₂ emissions. This highlights the need to incorporate NO₂ reduction targets into national policies, which currently mainly focus on particulate matter.
