Air pollution causes severe environmental problems and has become a major health risk for livelihood in Delhi. With increase in population, there is an increase in emissions from various utilities as well. The main source of air pollution is crop residue burning followed by vehicular and industrial emission. Crop residue burning during winter produces a thick cloud of smoke and causes major threats to human health by deterioration in air quality. This crucial matter was also discussed in the Indian parliament. The National Green Tribunal and various Courts of India have directed to the Delhi government and various concerned agencies to resolve the air pollution problem. The present study discusses human health safety caused by air pollution, analysis and mitigation of air pollution using suitable environmental policies and application of biomass energy.
