Open AccessReconciliation of energy use disparities in brick production in India
Energy conservation in brick production is crucial to achieving net-zero carbon emissions from the building sector, especially in countries with major expansions in the built environment. However, widely dispa...

Reducing the burden of anaemia in Indian women of reproductive age with clean-air targets
India has one of the highest (53%) global prevalences of anaemia among women of reproductive age (WRA, 15–49 years). Long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5), a type of air pollution, may inc...

Spatial heterogeneity of aerosol induced rapid adjustments on precipitation response over India: a general circulation model study with ECHAM6-HAM2
Anthropogenic aerosol induced declining trends in Indian region precipitation are now acknowledged, however, the role of rapid adjustments to aerosol forcing needs further understanding. An atmospheric general...

Disentangling sea-surface temperature and anthropogenic aerosol influences on recent trends in South Asian monsoon rainfall
Recent studies point to combined effects of changes in regional land-use, anthropogenic aerosol forcing and sea surface temperature (SST) gradient on declining trends in the South Asian monsoon (SAM). This stu...

Aerosol Influences on Cloud Modification and Rainfall Suppression in the South Asian Monsoon Region
The South Asian monsoon (SAM) is critical to the agricultural economy of the region. Large-scale processes affecting the monsoon have been traditionally been well studied; however, much less is known about the...

Open AccessAerosols cause intraseasonal short-term suppression of Indian monsoon rainfall
Aerosol abundance over South Asia during the summer monsoon season, includes dust and sea-salt, as well as, anthropogenic pollution particles. Using observations during 2000–2009, here we uncover repeated shor...

Open AccessContrasting influences of aerosols on cloud properties during deficient and abundant monsoon years
Direct aerosol radiative forcing facilitates the onset of Indian monsoon rainfall, based on synoptic scale fast responses acting over timescales of days to a month. Here, we examine relationships between aeros...

Open AccessFlip flop of Day-night and Summer-Winter Surface Urban Heat Island Intensity in India
The difference in land surface temperature (LST) between an urban region and its nearby non–urban region, known as surface urban heat island intensity (SUHII), is usually positive as reported in earlier studie...

Modelling size and structure of nanoparticles formed from drying of submicron solution aerosols
Drying of submicron solution aerosols, under controlled conditions, has been explored to prepare nanoparticles for drug delivery applications. A computational model of solution drop evaporation is developed to...

Morphology and bilayer integrity of small liposomes during aerosol generation by air-jet nebulisation
Small liposome suspensions (hydrodynamic diameter, 80–130 nm) were nebulised, and the resulting changes in morphology and bilayer integrity were found to be related to surface properties controlled by bilayer ...

Open AccessCombustion of dried animal dung as biofuel results in the generation of highly redox active fine particulates
The burning of biomass in the develo** world for heating and cooking results in high indoor particle concentrations. Long-term exposure to airborne particulate matter (PM) has been associated with increased ...

Emissions from burning biofuels in metal cookstoves
Promoting stoves that burn wood and other biofuels more efficiently is one of the means to reduce fuel consumption, but such efficient stoves may also emit more carbon monoxide and total suspended particulates...
