Kolkata: Seventy air quality monitoring stations and sensor-based noise aired aired in Kolkata and the state on Tuesday morning.
Eighty stations are more likely to appear immediately.
The WBPCB is preparing a central command center at its head office, where the scientist team and analyst will study data all the time in real time to produce comprehensive data and can be followed up for short-term and long-term mitigation measures.
The first glance to make changes is to have complete data that will tell us why we need to make changes.
This step will help in doing that.
But there is also a need for policy changes and changes in the field that will improve city air quality.
Winters, when more people like to spend more time outdoors, have changed very badly.
We need to work on this sensor-based monitoring will include PM1 (ultra-fine particle material), which will be used for research, because the Central Polution Control Board does not include PM1 monitoring in its mandate.
70 this station is part of the ambitious’ station ‘Station’ project that has been taken by the WBPCB.
After the entire project is ready, it will be a 243-station network, including 79 manuals and 14 continuous ambient air quality monitoring stations (CAAQMS).
“National Green Tribunal (NGT) asked us to monitor air quality from seven non-city non-achievement of Barrackpore, Haldia, Durgapur, Asansol, Ranigunj, Kolkata and Howrat.
In addition to complying with NGT orders, we have expanded monitoring networks, especially along the national borders.
A recent study of IIT-Delhi showed 53% of city pollution contributed by Trans-border pollution, 21% of it from Bangladesh.
A large number of pollution is a dust caused by the erosion of the top soil of agricultural land, “said Chairman of WBPCB Kalyan Rudra.
During the winter, he said, indo-gangetic plains moved easily to Kolkata, located at the end of the plain tail.
This is why air quality monitoring along the border helps us understand the dynamics of air pollution and underline the requirements of regional approaches to their mitigation measures, he said.
Police Commissioner Kolkata Soumen Mitra said, “Climate change is no more the possibility of the future but has played at our door.
We are affected by a delayed season attack and a longer inundation because of erratic monsoons.
The police have a major role in playing social riots caused by climate change.
we have begun to make our troops aware of the dangers of air pollution, voice pollution, climate change, plastic waste and the absence of waste separation.
We try to change our academic campus to be green and minimize the generation of waste by adopting waste separation and composting .
“the Secretary Members WBPCB Roshni Sen said,” air quality affects all of us.
we can not escape to confine ourselves to our homes because some research has indicated that indoor air is often worse than the surrounding air.
we all need to work together to improve Quality U.
