Bio:

Bio: Prof. Khare’s research has focused on local scale urban air quality modelling targeting the predictions of episodesat urban roads/intersections, mainly arising out from undefined low-level/line sources sources. Current research areas include formulation of air quality models and their validation; indoor air quality modelling in air-conditioned and naturally ventilated buildings and exposure assessment of related pollutants on indoor occupants. He has been actively involved in research areas related to particulate pollution to ambient environment due to coal mining activities and sustainable cities analyzing the Urban Genome affecting the sustainable growth of the cities. He has also worked extensively in the area of industrial wastewater treatment particularly application of Rotating Biological Contactor Systems to treat industrial and sewage wastes.

Prof. Khare and his research group have carried out a number of on site assessments of air pollutants and designed a number of effluent treatment plants to treat the  corresponding wastes from various types of industries in and around Delhi.
