What happened: “targeted tech” for air pollution control
What existed earlier: why uniform measures are often insufficient
Air pollution impacts and dominant pollution sources can vary across places due to differences in industry mix, transport patterns, fuel use, land use, and weather. When dominant drivers differ, a uniform intervention set can miss the main causes in some locations.
What changed now: emphasis on tailoring plus technology
Why it matters for UPSC: governance design and implementation accountability
