In a first for any city across India yet, the ambitious Mumbai Climate Action Plan (MCAP) has proposed that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) address the issue of personal /direct exposure to different air pollution risks to locals in Mumbai through a data survey. MCAP has emphasised that the survey should be carried out at the ward levels within the next three to six months this year.

Assessing air pollution exposure risk means the direct impact on individuals living within a region from harmful pollutants like particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, ozone among others.
