Ghaziabad: In 2019, the Central Pollution Control Agency (CPCB) assigned IIT-Delhi to conduct a study to find out what the source of pollution was actually in the air Ghaziabad.
Regional Polution Control Board expects a report before this winter.
However, officials said that they found it difficult to wear a strategy to deal with problems with the absence of data apropriation of pollution sources.
Utsav Sharma, regional officers from the Board of Control Polution Up, said, “With the level of air pollution reaching alarming proportion in Ghaziabad, especially during the winter every winter, it is the need for hours to have research that highlights the main source of pollution compiling a road map to deal with problems.
We hope to report IIT-Delhi before the emergence of winter which will help us identify the contributor to the main pollution.
“Ghaziabad has so far become an framing guide on pollution control measures based on the 2018 report on the apropriation of pollution sources in Delhi-NCR, carried out by TERI .
“This study was last carried out three years ago, which according to the pollution of vehicles in winter contributed to 30% PM2 .5 and 18% of PM 10.
In Ghaziabad, this is not entirely true because traditionally is an industrial city.
So, the role of the industry also needs to be.
Ascertained, “Sharma said.
“We have conducted our own survey to find out pollution hotspots in the district but because they do not have a scientific approach, pollution source studies will be useful for developing pollution control strategies for the city,” he added.
