Jhajjar: house up to 415 kiln brick, 650 industry, 16 hot mixed plants and five crush stones, JHJJAR is one of 14 Haryana districts in the national capital area that has recorded steep slides in air quality, due to dirty air impurities diesel exhaust smoke, Dust construction, increasing industrial emissions, road dust and plant burning.
The average air quality index (AQI) in the district has been recorded in the ‘very poor’ category since November.
While the average AQI of December (up to 25 months) was recorded at 320, the total AQI November was around 347, some notches from AQI 293 recorded in the period in accordance last year.
Parents, get used to bright and bright winter, say the morning sky shines like an unpleasant orange color.
“We could hardly see the road lately in the morning walking.
Stepping out to take a walk or work in the morning or late at night causing respiratory problems.
Pandemic has made a more frightening situation,” said Suresh Singh, a sector 16, say.
With ongoing infrastructure projects in areas such as Road, Badli Road and Sector 9 bypass, residents say there are no concessions of suspended dust particles.
“The problem is that these suspended particles linger even after the air is cleaned.
The rainfall is a little year after year to ensure that it is not calm.
These little spots, we are afraid, can increase the risk of acute respiratory infections, especially at Children and older adults, “said Karamvir Dahiya, a resident of Road, said.
‘All not experts’ ‘experts’ claims the source of air pollution in Jhajjar is not entirely local.
“Jhajjar is not a very urban district and does not have many sources of active and modern emissions but is surrounded by industries and brick kilns which are the main sources of pollution.
This is also a major rice planting area in the state and see some examples of propellers,” Shubhansh Tiwari , a research partner at the Amity Center for air pollution control, to TI.
Executive Director of Research and Advocacy in the Center for Science and Environment (CSE) Anumita Roychowdhury, meanwhile, suppressed holistic mitigation plans.
“The source of pollution has not changed throughout the year.
What changes in winter are cold air that settle close to the ground and trap pollutants.
When Delhi and the surrounding cities choked, it was not necessarily when the burning stump was at its peak, but when the weather conditions were conducive.
It’s the same here, “he said.
The actions are still not taken by the district today depending on the ambient air quality station that is alone at the Bahadurgarh Mini Secretariat.
This, the expert said, is not enough to filter the air quality from a district spread over 1,834 square kilometers.
However, the state pollution control board Haryana (HSPCB) has no plans to increase the number of air monitoring stations.
“We have installed an online station to monitor air quality around the city of Bahadurgarh and have two manual ambient air quality stations.
We have also prepared an action plan to reduce pollution in the district,” Dinesh Kumar, said the HSPCB regional officer, said.
Civil institutions, including the city council, traffic police, HSIIDC and pollution council, have started crackdown on vehicles parked illegally on heavy streets, he said.
Civil institutions will begin to sprinkle water on dust fillings, road mechanical sweeping, and start jobs to fill the hole.
The pollution council has been assigned to ensure that all protected building materials and anti-fog weapons are installed in all construction sites, Kumar said, adding work on the elimination of gasoline and diesel vehicles, each of which aged more than 15 and 10 years.
