The study of the health impact of air pollution in East Delhi is mentioned in the paper. People's health suffers as a result of air pollution, and a significant portion of their income is spent on medical expenses. The primary goal of this research is to estimate the benefit that an individual would receive in East Delhi if there is a reduction in air pollution in this region, or similarly reiterated, an increment in the air quality of the regions located in East Delhi. The research methodology employs a household production function model based on a household survey of areas within half a kilometre distance from the main air pollution monitoring stations of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) located at Anand Vihar, Nizamuddin, Shahdara and Dilshad Garden. This model is used to determine the relationships among people's willingness to pay for pollution reduction, treatment costs, both direct and indirect costs. The method for calculating the monetary benefits of reducing air pollution involves regressing the number of sick days on environmental quality, mitigating activity, health capital stock, and social capital stock.The paper investigates that indoor pollution, ambient air pollution, and poor health stock increase the probability of falling sick. This decreased likelihood of becoming ill implies a monetary benefit that individuals will receive as a result of reduced air pollution. The number of sick days a person has is affected by a variety of factors such as nutrition, eating habits, use of heat-generating electronic devices, and so on. Increased participation in the aforementioned independent activities reduces the dependent variable (no. of sick days). The study plays an important role in raising public awareness about air pollution in Delhi and in identifying the causes of high indoor pollution in various areas of the city. By protecting people's health, society can contribute to the development of more productive and efficient human capital, as health is a critical component of human capital.
