Stubble burning contributes significantly to Delhi’s air pollution, prompting penalties and legal actions across neighboring states. However, authorities acknowledge that emissions from construction, industry, and waste burning are equally critical factors, indicating that relying solely on crop residue data provides an incomplete picture of the crisis. This highlights the complexity of urban air quality modeling for open data initiatives. Comprehensive datasets must integrate diverse emission sources beyond agriculture to accurately guide policy. Isolating single variables obscures the multifaceted nature of pollution, necessitating holistic data approaches for effective environmental management.
