Aperar: Seasonal burning of these plant residues provides dirty air Haryana and Punjab after wheat and rice harvest, so scientists have studied patterns and their relationship to formulate the steps of season-specific control.
They found that dirty air is now a matter of medium and small city problems.
Experts from the Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering Department of Science Engineering, University of Science and Technology (GJUS), Panjab Chandigarh (PU) University, and Public Medicine Department and Public Health School at the Institute of Education and Research on Postgraduate Postgraduate Chandigarh (Pirimer) both researched Data monitoring air quality continuously to understand seasonal variations and its links with weather and burning.
A German Springer Science and Business Research Journal published this study written by Sahil Mor, Tanbir Singh, Narshi Ram Bishnoi, Santosh Bhukal and Ravindra Khalawal.
Seasonal variations in ambient air quality are rated in 14 parameters such as material particles (PM), Gas traces, and volatile organic compounds (VOC), along with meteorological parameters.
Data comes from 23 monitoring stations of the Central Pollution Control Agency (CPCB) and the state pollution control agency Haryana (HSPCB) in 21 Haryana District.
The numbers belong to 2019, where districts are divided into three zones based on ecology and planting patterns.
In all Haryana District, the average annual particle material (PM10 and PM2.5 concentration) in the air is much higher than national standards.
There are seasonal variations that are quite large in the concentration of all pollutants in the air above Haryana.
Post post-monsoon pollution (October-December), followed by winter.
PM10 and PM2.5 increased 65 to 112% and 131 to 147%, respectively after the monsoon, while the rain was a clean season that washing atmospheric pollutants.
The fire material tracked by the satellite shows a significant effect of burning straw after the rainy season, followed by burning solid biomass (cow dung cake, wood etc.) in the winter Haryana.
Particles, which are considered to be air pollution proxies, usually, have concentrations of PM10 annual average in zone-1, 2, and 3 as 156 ± 86, 174 ± 93, and 143 ± 74 μgm-3, while for PM2.5 It was 71 ± 44, 85 ± 54, and 78 ± 47 μg M-3.
The main author of Narsi Ram Bishnoi from Gjust Hisar said the study of seasonal variations in the quality of Ambien Haryana air would help formulate season-specific control measures.
He said: “Air pollution is seen as a problem with big cities usually, but it is increasing from middle and small cities.” Professor PGI Ravindra Khaiwal said: “Farmers need to adopt sustainable practices to contain dangerous emissions.
The straw cake and cow dung they burn for cooking and heating in their rural kitchen are the main contributors to air pollution and vehicle emissions.
National clean air program, fuel cooking Clean subsidized, and subsidies for management of plant-residues have not helped to desire participation and public awareness.
