The main causes of air pollution in Mumbai are waste burning, industrial activity, construction dust, and vehicle emissions. These sources emit fine particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) into the atmosphere, which has the ability to enter the lungs deeply and result in heart problems, respiratory disorders, and other health issues.
The SAMEER App dashboard on Wednesday showed <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/maharashtra-officials-claim-state-is-ready-to-handle-surge-in-covid-19-cases-23325767" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Worli's AQI</a> as 108 and Borivali's AQI as 126.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has imposed regulations on vehicle emissions, controlled dust areas at construction sites, and the encouragement of electric vehicles, among other things. The Maharashtra government has also introduced the "Clean Air Action Plan," which aims to cut emissions from different sources.
