Abstract

Keynote Lectures Wednesday, Beatrix Theater, August 28, 2019, 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM India bears some of the highest burdens of disease attributable to ambient and household air pollution, with both rural and urban populations experiencing wide-spread health damaging exposures. The evidence required for inter-sectoral solutions is strong and is reflected in on-going regulatory actions. There is, however, a need to create seamless breathing spaces that straddles across all exposure micro-environments to both diminish the health burden and the associated disparities among population sub-groups. Recent policies aimed at jointly addressing rural energy, water, sanitation, housing and transportation hold the promise of bringing transformative co-benefits for Airs, Waters and Places for millions in India. Sustained global translational research collaborations will be pivotal for the success of such initiatives.
