Delhi Air Pollution: Health and Effects

The primary aim of DAPHNE is to understand the early life effects of air pollution in Delhi by estimating exposure-response relationships between ambient air pollution exposures and health effects (birth weight, acute respiratory infections in children under two years) and asthma exacerbations in adolescents aged 12-18 years. 

Collaborating to find innovative solutions

Doctors, scientists, and technologists from nine institutions in the UK and India collaborate on the DAPHNE project; the University of Edinburgh is the Lead Research Organisation.

This group of dedicated innovators is exploring how the combination of novel data collection methods and machine learning can affect solutions to enhance respiratory health and minimise exposure to air pollution.

The DAPHNE project has not just implemented innovative research methods that seek to make our world a better place; it exemplifies an innovative, purposeful approach to addressing environmental concerns. The project is an encouraging example of what can be achieved when science, technology, and community engagement come together to solve problems.
