The study investigates the health impacts of key environmental exposomes—PM₂.₅, nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), and temperature extremes— using a modified life‑course approach across different locations in India. These exposures will be linked to chronic noncommunicable disease outcomes, while examining interactions with gender, socioeconomic status, rural–urban context, and pre‑existing health conditions.

It brings together a multidisciplinary group of researchers, mentors, and program faculty to build the capacity of public health professionals to generate data needed to address the unique characteristics of exposures in the country. The study has been funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), USA.
