520			_aStrategies for mitigating air pollution in India primarily operate at the national, state, or municipal levels. Citing the inefficacy of such policies that presume air pollution adheres to administrative boundaries, this paper advocates airshed-level pollution mitigation measures and defines airsheds following the Köppen–Geiger climate classification. It is found that these airsheds exhibit significant heterogeneity in pollution levels and have different physical geography-pollution causal mechanisms. Given the heterogeneity in the climatic pollution causal mechanisms among the airsheds, it would be advisable to develop pollution mitigation plans and establish autonomous authorities specific to each airshed, rather than adopting a uniform policy for the entire state. – Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/special-articles/beyond-human-made-boundaries.html
