Metro worked the biggest source of dust pollution in Mumbai

Mumbai: Among the ongoing variety of infrastructure activities in Mumbai, Metro rail work is the largest source of dust pollution, revealing world resource institutions (WRI) in his findings submitted to BMC.
“Construction activities contribute to almost 8% of the total particle emissions.
The construction of the Mumbai Metro project specifically contributes to 3.2% of suspension dust,” said the report, which suggested that air quality problems must now be identified locally and handled.
WRI recommends that Mumbai must adopt clean fuel and decongest traffic by shifting people to public transportation.
It is also urgent to improve the mechanism of collection of waste, scientific remediation from the landfill site, an increase in the height of piles in the industry, the adoption of low sulfur fuel with regular power, and the appointment of marshal enforcement to ensure that citizens strictly follow anti-pollution norms.
Frequent Fires at the location of TPA Deonar and Kanjurmarg, in addition to often endangering burning waste in isolated places, increasing deadly hydrocarbon pollution and carbon monoxide, WRI reports show.
“Paved and non-paved road dust produces a high concentration of suspension dust,” the report said, suggesting a better road sweeper and washing mechanism.
Mumbai has a high concentration of annual particles and nitrogen oxides from roadside construction and traffic emissions from heavy duty diesel vehicles.
WRI also asks BMC for better monitoring and coordination to overcome pollution through dedicated cells.
