Air quality impacts of crop residue burning in India and mitigation alternatives [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2022
We quantify the air quality and health impacts of Indian crop residue burning and trace these impacts back to individual burning events by hour and district. We find that small interventions, such as burning one hour earlier in the day, may provide broad

Environmental and Health Impacts of Crop Residue Burning: Scope of Sustainable Crop Residue Management Practices [PDF]

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022
The burning of crop residue in the open field has become a significant concern for climate change mitigation efforts worldwide. This practice has led to air quality impairment, smog, haze, heat waves, and different health problems. These could be avoided by adopting sustainable crop residue management practices (SCRMPs) and enabling farmers to engage ...

Transitions to crop residue burning have multiple antecedents in Eastern India [PDF]

Agronomy for Sustainable Development
AbstractFar removed from the agricultural fire “hotspots” of Northwestern India, rice residue burning is on the rise in Eastern India with implications for regional air quality and agricultural sustainability. The underlying drivers contributing to the increase in burning have been linked to the adoption of mechanized (combine) harvesting but, in ...

Health and environmental consequences of crop residue burning correlated with increasing crop yields midst India’s Green Revolution [PDF]

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2022
The Green Revolution (GR) enhances crop yields significantly that contributes greatly to the social and economic development of many less developed countries. However, the increasing crop yields might rise crop residue biomass burning, leading to adverse

A mixed-methods community-based participatory research to explore stakeholder’s perspectives and to quantify the effect of crop residue burning on air and human health in Central India: study protocol [PDF]

BMC Public Health, 2020
Background Crop residue burning adversely affects air quality and consequently human health. India, being one of the largest agro-economies of the world, produces around 500 Million tonnes of crop residue annually most of which is burnt on-farm. However,

Study on spatial distribution of crop residue burning and PM2.5 change in China [PDF]

Environmental Pollution, 2017
With China as the study area, MODIS MOD14A1 and MCD12Q1 products were used to derive daily crop residue burning spots from 2014 to 2015. After vectorization of crop residue burning pixels and with the use of fishnet, burning density distribution maps were eventually completed. Meanwhile, the daily air quality data from 150 cities in 2014 and 285 cities

Understanding the Influence of Crop Residue Burning on PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ Concentrations in China from 2013 to 2017 Using MODIS Data. [PDF]

Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2018
In recent years, particulate matter (PM) pollution has increasingly affected public life and health. Therefore, crop residue burning, as a significant source of PM pollution in China, should be effectively controlled.
