Pollution Mitigation: Cleaner Air, Water & Soil for a Healthier India
Driving tech-backed, community-led solutions for sustainable impact
Pollution is one of the most urgent threats to India’s environment, public health, and sustainable development. It is not only an ecological concern but a human development issue—deeply linked to livelihoods, nutrition, disease, and inequality.
At Nexus 3P Foundation, we are committed to mitigating pollution through technology-backed, community-driven solutions that address the problem at its roots and scale impact where it’s needed most.
Why Pollution Mitigation Matters in India
Urban Air Crisis
India is home to 10 of the world’s 20 most polluted cities. (WAQI, 2023)
Health Toll
Air pollution causes approximately 1.5 million deaths annually in India. (Lancet, 2020)
Water Contamination
Over 70% of India’s surface water is polluted. (CPCB, 2022)
Soil Degradation
Excessive chemical use reduces fertility and raises health risks.
Climate Resilience
Pollution weakens climate adaptation, food systems, and health.
Our Focus: Tech-Enabled, Community-Driven Mitigation

Air Quality Monitoring & Management
Low-cost sensors, stubble-burning alternatives, and co-creating urban green zones to reduce air pollution exposure.

Water Pollution Reduction
Promotion of decentralized wastewater treatment, AI-based early warning systems, and wetland restoration to protect our water bodies.

Soil Health Improvement
Regenerative farming practices, organic composting, and bio-inputs to restore soil vitality and reduce agri-toxins.
