Title: Brick Kilns, Biomass, Traffic, and Trash – Air Quality in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal
Abstract:
Air quality in South Asia frequently exceeds guidelines set by the World Health Organization posing a health risk to the population in this region. To better understand the drivers and sources of air pollution, and more specifically particulate matter, in this region the Nepal Ambient Monitoring and Source Testing Experiment (NAMaSTE) campaign brought together a multi-university collaboration with in-country partners to characterize the gas and particle composition of key sources of air pollution in South Asia, and apply that source characterization to measurements of ambient air pollution from multiple sites in and around the Kathmandu Valley. The resulting source apportionment of particulate matter provides key information for policy and development strategies to reduce the burden of air pollution in the region.
