Air pollution of Delhi's solutions involve multi-pronged strategies: government actions like the National Clean Air Programme, Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) for emergency measures, promoting electric vehicles, & controlling industrial emissions, alongside public efforts like using indoor plants (snake plants, money plants) and air purifiers, reducing vehicle use, and adopting sustainable practices. Innovative ideas like cloud seeding are also explored.

 Air pollution of Delhi's solutions involve multi-pronged strategies: government actions like the
 National Clean Air Programme, 
Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) 
for emergency measures, promoting electric vehicles, and controlling industrial emissions, alongside public efforts like using indoor plants (snake plants, money plants) and air purifiers, reducing vehicle use, and adopting sustainable practices. Innovative ideas like cloud seeding are also explored for temporary relief, while systemic changes focus on cleaner fuels (BS-VI), better waste management, and stricter industrial monitoring. 

Government & Policy Solutions

National Clean Air Programme (NCAP): -
Aims to reduce pollution levels across India.
Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP):-
 Implements stricter rules (like construction bans, odd-even schemes) based on Air Quality Index (AQI) levels.
Industrial Controls: -
Mandating online monitoring (OC EMS) for major polluting industries and upgrading to BS-VI fuel standards.
Waste Management: -
Implementing rules for Construction & Demolition waste.
Green Mobility: -
Incentivizing electric vehicles (EVs) and improving public transport like the Delhi Metro.
Local Hotspot Control: -
Schemes to tackle pollution at specific pollution hotspots. 
Technological & Innovative Solutions
Indoor Air Purification: -
Using plants like snake plants, peace lilies, and money plants, or advanced AC filters to clean indoor air.
Cloud Seeding: -
A proposed technique to induce rain to wash pollutants, though effectiveness is debated.
Dust Control: -
Sweeping, water sprinkling, and dust mitigation plans for construction sites. 
Individual & Community Actions
Reduce Vehicle Use:-
 Drive less, use public transport, or switch to EVs.
Indoor Air Quality: -
Use air purifiers, keep homes hydrated, and incorporate air-purifying plants.
Sustainable Practices: -
Limit backyard fires, use hand-powered equipment, conserve energy, and support green business practices.
Health Measures: -
Stay indoors during severe pollution, wear N95 masks outdoors, and do breathing exercises.

State-wise carbon emissions in India show a concentration in western and southern states, with byd as major emitters, particularly from the manufacturing and energy sectors. The highest total CO2 emissions have been linked to states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, though the specific ranking can vary depending on the data year and the specific pollutants included.
