Ans1 Over 10 years, UHI has only increased in all the 10 cities, by 90 degree fahrenheit. Ans2 Place: inderpuri,new delhi, India Due to increase in population leading to increase in pollution is an effect of UHI. The Delhi area has a high population density and vehicular congestion. These increase pollution and heat, and do not let pollutants escape.Such rapid increase in population is associated with a similar growth in number of vehicles, residential areas, commercial complexes and infrastructure facilities. This results in significant changes in UHI and increases anthropogenic heat emissions. Ans3 Installation of green roof. Use of energy efficient appliances. Use of sun shades for windows.Planting trees and other vegetation lowers surface and air temperatures by providing shade and cooling through evapotranspiration. Cool (or reflective) roofs help to reflect sunlight and heat away from your home, reducing roof temperatures. This allows for your home to stay cooler, reducing the amount of air conditioning needed during hot days.
