Corrective measures vs implementation of laws... #DelhiOddEven
With Delhi Govt's ambitious road rationing plan swings into place from New Year with a desperate attempt to control the city's poisonous pollution levels raising an important question that will it actually make any difference in cleaning up the city air or not.
Innovative Financial Advisors Pvt Ltd. contemplates that capital's high pollution levels warrants our closer look at the situation. If we take a look at the history of Delhi's air pollution it will give us more clearer picture. Particulate matter - PM 2.5 specifically produced by vehicle emissions shot up around 1998. And Ricky Bones Puerto Rico Jersey , then it started to gradually decline. That was when the apex court cracked the whip on departments concerned and ordered the city鈥檚 fleet of buses to switch from diesel to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). Also included in the ruling were pre-1990 autorickshaws and taxis.
However, few studies argue that a lot of these gains have been reversed because of the radical increase in the number of vehicles, especially those running on diesel. So, Nitrogen Oxides and Ozone by products of emissions from cars, trucks Carlos Baerga Puerto Rico Jersey , construction etc. have been rising while other pollutants such as sulphur dioxides have reduced. Innovative Financial Advisors Pvt Ltd. highlights the on-going debate that only vehicles cannot be blamed for the rising pollution levels. Road dust, a term which refers to a high concentration of metals such as Copper, Manganese, Nickel, Barium Edwin Rodriguez Puerto Rico Jersey , Zinc etc. is a major cause of particulate matter in Delhi. It鈥檚 the result of poor roads, heavy traffic and incessant construction.
Innovative Financial Advisors Pvt Ltd. brings attention towards another alarming cause i.e. Delhi鈥檚 garbage, burning piles of trash are a source of particulate matter, mercury and other harmful chemicals. According to reports, burning trash produces nearly 30% of the world鈥檚 particulate matter and 40% of its Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) Eddie Rosario Puerto Rico Jersey , a class of chemicals associated with neurological diseases leading toheart attacks and cancer.
Emission of air pollutants from industries is another area which poses a major challenge for monitoring and enforcement. Innovative Financial Advisors Pvt Ltd. acknowledges the fact that industries in and around Delhi, many of them small-scale, have long been repeatedly flouting regulations and are not complying with pollution norms. Last year, Environment ministry has imposed strict norms on coal-based thermal plants by notifying revised norms of emission standards to reduce the PM10 (particulate matter), Sulphur Dioxide Angel Pagan Puerto Rico Jersey , and Nitrogen Oxide. Such steps will further stregthen the initiatives of making city pollution free. Innovative Financial Advisors Pvt Ltd. believes that it is important to understand that only taking corrective measures will not solve the purpose, it should be backed by the on-ground implementation of laws and imposing strict norms on the culprits.
Innovative Financial Advisors Pvt Ltd. highlights that Delhi鈥檚 neighbours also contribute immensely to the pollution levels. Emissions from coal plants, cement units, tanneries etc. in Faridabad, Haryana Enrique Hernandez Puerto Rico Jersey , Punjab and Uttar Pradesh send the most toxic particulate matter to the capital's air.
Delhi's Odd-Even rule is an experimental start and knowing that vehicles are not the only major contributers to the pollution levels, city needs more laws with implementation of laws on ground and restrictions on other factors equally contributing to the capital's rising pollution levels.
