Haryana to Launch Real-Time Pollution Source Study
13 Oct
Summary
- Haryana will conduct real-time pollution source studies in three cities.
- World Bank is providing funding for the air quality assessment.
- The study will help identify and quantify pollution sources accurately.
Haryana will soon implement real-time pollution source studies in Rohtak, Rewari, and Ballabgarh. This crucial air quality initiative is supported by funding from the World Bank Group. Specialized analyzers will be deployed at diverse locations within each city to gather detailed pollution data.
The project aims to enhance the scientific assessment of air pollution across the Delhi-NCR region. By frequently measuring pollutants like PM2.5 and PM10, scientists can better estimate the impact of different sources, guiding targeted air quality improvement strategies.
This effort is particularly relevant given Haryana's consistently high pollution levels. The findings are expected to lead to a prioritized roadmap for both short-term and long-term air quality improvements. This includes identifying specific industries and their contributions to pollution.
Similar studies are being conducted or analyzed in other parts of the region. Delhi, for instance, has utilized a system called R-AASMAN, developed by IIT Kanpur, to monitor its air quality in real-time.
