Air pollutants: 5 Mumbai Wards is more susceptible to Covid

Mumbai: The suburb of Mumbai is like Ghatkopar, Vikhroli, Bhandup, Mulund, Kurla, Andheri, Vile Parle and Kandivli more susceptible to Covid-19 because of exposure to prolonged and excessive air pollutants.
His first environmental level study by the International Institute of Counting Sciences (IIPS) showed a significant relationship between pollution and Covid-19 in Mumbai.
While the concentration of particle material (PM10) is far more than the guidelines specified throughout the city, the prevalence of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) on the outskirts of the suburbs such as S, T, N, R-South and K-East may add The Covid crisis, stated research.
The environment in South Mumbai, on the other hand, looks at the impact of relatively lower pollutants, and therefore also reduces the clustering of Covid cases.
The study also pays attention to Covid’s related deaths in the suburban environment where the population has extended higher no2 exposure.
The suburb of the city of Mumbai with higher no2 exposure due to industrial emissions and increased traffic in recent years has been at higher risk of breathing morbidity, the researchers said.
The researchers used Covid Ward-Wise data issued by BMC until August 15, 2020, and statistically correlated with data on pollutants.
“While Mumbai has only 10 pollution monitoring stations, we use criging interpolation techniques (the popular method used in pollution modeling) to estimate the concentration of pollutants in neighboring areas to get wise data,” said Subhojit Shaw of Paper.
The final edit of this study, written by Iips Professor Aparajita Chattopadhyay and Shaw, was published in the Geohealth American Geophysical Union journal on Monday.
The study also revealed that hotspots for Covid-19 exposure and carefully pollution of lowland areas or wetlands, which face maximum waterlogging in the monsoon.
These include Kurla, Zion, Matunga, Mulund, Kalina, Ghatkopar, Juhu, Santacruz and Andheri, said Chatttopadhyay.
Along with NO2, his presence significantly increased the likelihood of Covid-19 death, said Shaw.
V M Mandghare, Joint Director, Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (which is not part of the study), said they did not find a high number of NO2 during locking.
“But research has shown that long-term exposure to air pollution affects human lung efficiency and makes them vulnerable to respiratory diseases,” he said, adding MPCB is conducting a study of emissions with neeri and Iit-Bombay, which will help determine the contribution of each Each pollutant in 18 cities, including Mumbai.
