Abhijeet Pathak

Abhijeet Pathak is a scientist formerly associated with India's pollution control board, known for his expertise in air quality monitoring and analysis. He has been vocal about the need for India to update its air quality framework, which has not been comprehensively revised since 2009. Pathak advocates for the inclusion of sensor-based data in air quality assessments and has highlighted the limitations of the current National Air Quality Index, which caps pollution readings at 500, limiting the understanding of the true severity of air pollution in the country.
