New Delhi: In collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) authorities are going to monitor air quality on its campus.
Low-cost portable sensors will be installed at eight-nine locations to assess the impact of various initiatives taken under “clean and green” AIIMS, said CAPHER (collaborative for air pollution and health effects research in India) coordinator Dr Harshal Ramesh Salve.
