It is difficult to stop air pollution during a growing economy and rapid development, but it is not impossible either. NEERI (National Environmental Engineering Research Institute) believes that if this pollution is eliminated at its source before it is generated, then this problem can be relieved to a great extent.

 

the action plan will be prepared

Meanwhile, regarding the pollution caused by vehicles, it has also prepared an action plan and given it to the agencies related to the central and state governments. It has been suggested to open a service center near each center which checks the pollution of vehicles. So that if any fault is found in the vehicle during the inspection, it can be rectified immediately.

 

Many suggestions are given earlier also to agencies including the Ministry of Environment

Anyway, air pollution has a major share of pollution caused by vehicles. In cities like Delhi, it is over 30 percent. CSIR (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research)-affiliated organization NEERI, which is working in the field of environmental improvement, has already given many suggestions to agencies including the Ministry of Environment and Forests to deal with air pollution.

 

National Clean Air Program

However, according to the experts associated with Neeri, the plan given to deal with air pollution is not being implemented effectively anywhere. In such a situation, it is not right to expect the level of air pollution to decrease. The special thing is that the action plan for the 132 cities where the campaign to clean the air quality is being run under the National Clean Air Program has also been prepared with the help of NEERI. There has been talking of attacking the source of air pollution itself.

 

According to a senior scientist

According to a senior scientist associated with Neeri, the way it has been suggested to eliminate the pollution coming out of vehicles at the source level itself, in the same way, to reduce the pollution arising from the industries and also to reduce the dust. Planning has been done. But there is a lack of strict implementation. Still, there is no protocol regarding the transportation of soil, ballast, waste, etc. It is transported without covering.

 

There is no management of waste from village to cities

Similarly, in any construction work, whether it is a road or a building, not a single rule is followed. Street sweeping is still done the old-fashioned way. Due to this, heavy dust blows every day. Along with this, there is no management of waste from villages to cities. In most places, it is burnt in the open. Similarly, there is no strong monitoring mechanism for air pollution from industries. In most of the places, only paper supply is being done.
