This article is one of the first to assess trends in air quality in Delhi using modelling. It is also frequently cited in later trend analyses and modelling of Delhi's air quality. Its first author, Dr. Viney P. Aneja, heads a very productive Air Quality Research Group at NCSU, and has collaborated with U.S.-EPA frequently on U.S.-India Collaboration on Air Quality and Climate Research and Education, apart from other things. This paper is also interesting, as it has CSE's founder Mr. Anil Agarwal as second author. It is mentioned later in the paper that CPCB's air quality data was provided to authors by CSE, telling us about scientific collaborations made by this advocacy group. CSE has also used this paper in its later publications, as 17 years later, it is an early analysis. This paper also proposes explicitly data-driven policymaking, stating that it will help 'divergent interests' to come together on Delhi's air. This 'coming together' of divergent interests is still a driving concern today, even though we have considerably more data and even more analyses.
