New Delhi: Decorated by negligence with the prohibition of fireworks in Delhi in Diwali, experts say the authorities must educate the public about the adverse effects of firecrackers on health and bring changes in behavior in the community.
Sachchida N Tripathi from the Civil Engineering Department in IIT Kanpur and member of the Steering Committee, National Clean Air Program, said, “Painting paintings caused a surge in metal concentration in the air even though it was lost very quickly and did not remain in the air for more than two days.” He felt Prohibition can only be enforced only if people become part of the action.
Anju Goel, Fellow, Earth Science and Climate Change, at the Institute of Energy and Resources, shows even though there are banquet prohibitions, items are easily available on the market at affordable prices.
“To ensure that crackers do not explode, the source and availability of crackers must be removed,” he said.
“In addition, the human welfare association or some people must be given the responsibility to ensure the enforcement of the right prohibition in their respective regions.” Also advocating behavior change is aarti khosla, director, climate trend.
He noted that a lot of prohibition began before being diwali this year, but people can buy them from the nearest countries.
“We have to make people aware that firecrackers are not good for their health,” Khosla said.
“Violators must be punished and people who make statements do not look and lack information that crackers do not contribute to pollution must be called.” Prohibitions can succeed only if residents participate in it, said SaNik Professor Dey, Coordinator, Center for excellence for clean air research, IIT Delhi.
“The focus must strengthen the message about why fireworks are prohibited,” he said.
“We must constantly run the awareness campaign until people become very aware of air pollution.” On the Energy Council, the environment and water, Tanushree Ganguly, lead the program, said, “Accountability must be repaired both in the top and lower rankings.
Finally, Onus is in us, Delhi residents.
We need to realize that our city is very vulnerable to high pollution, remembering the geography And the adverse effects of meteorology on air quality.
We must refrain from pampering activities that worsen the quality of the capital and put our family welfare and neighbors at risk.
