Tandoori hazard

An IIT Kanpur study notes that coal-fired tandoors in restaurants are major contributors of particulate matter (PM) in Delhi’s atmosphere.

An IIT Kanpur study notes that coal-fired tandoors in restaurants are major contributors of particulate matter (PM) in Delhi’s atmosphere. While the Delhi government’s odd-even experiment has worked wonders, decongesting roads and reducing pollution to some extent, keeping it simple by coaxing restaurants to switch to gas and electric tandoors from coal ones would also be a welcome step. In this way, we can reduce pollution in Delhi’s air, one particle at a time.
