South India's air pollution crosses state borders — study says five states need a shared clean air body
- A CSTEP study found over 50% of air pollution in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka comes from outside their borders.
- The study recommends a shared clean air body for all five southern states — similar to Delhi's inter-state Commission for Air Quality Management.
- Clean air policies across the South are inconsistent — Tamil Nadu bans solid fuel burning but other states do not; Kerala has no factory pollution rules.
