This document proposes areas for seminars, workshops, brainstorming sessions, and training programs by the Delhi chapter of IAAPC between 2014-2016. It suggests discussing air pollution assessment and mitigation from vehicles, industries, power plants, mining, and other sources. Specific topics include pollution from coal power plants, volatile organic compounds, indoor air pollution, health impacts, pollution control technologies, and using air quality monitoring data. It also lists potential training areas like emissions monitoring, air quality modeling, and assisting government agencies. Finally, it discusses IAAPC's role in advising government policy on air pollution standards, plans, and regulations.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF SEMINAR /
WORKSHOP / BRAIN STORMING SESSION
PROPOSED TO BE CONDUCTED BY IAAPC
(DELHI CHAPTER DURING 2014 - 16)
1. Assessment of air pollution in urban areas
due to vehicular emission, emission from
SSI Units, DG Sets and other sources &
mitigation plan.

3. ECRD.IN
• Share of transport sector increases from 19% in PM10 to 50% in PM2.5
• Share of anthropogenic sources eclipsed by dust contributions in case of PM10
• DG sets :important source. Contribution is 13% & 25% in PM10 and PM2.5.
• Contribution of industries to the particulate matter is low.
• Domestic sector also has a small contribution in both PM10 and PM2.5.
• Share of secondary particulates is higher in PM2.5 than in PM10, depicting
their finer size

6. Solvent recovery from chemical industries
to reduce toxic air pollution.
7. Environmental pollution due to shale gas
extraction and coal bed methane (CBM)
gas extraction.

9. ECRD.IN
SHALE GAS
Shale gas is natural gas that is found
trapped within shale formations. Shale gas
has become an increasingly important
source of natural gas in the United States
since the start of this century, and interest
has spread to potential gas shales in the
rest of the world.

10. ECRD.IN
As of 2013, the US, Canada, and China are the only countries producing
shale gas in commercial quantities. The US and Canada are the only
countries where shale gas is a significant part of the gas supply.

8. Environmental pollution due to coal / iron
ore mining.
9. Use of continuous ambient air quality
monitoring stations (CAAQMS) data in air
pollution control strategy.
10.Understanding role of meteorology in air
pollution management.
11.Fuel quality improvement (solid / liquid
fuel) in air pollution control.
