The National Environmental Engineering Research Institute, Nagpur-based laboratory of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, has developed a device to address air pollution at high traffic zones like traffic intersections and parking areas
`Odd-Even Scheme’ - implemented in Delhi from January 1 to 15, 2016, found that there was hardly any impact on the characteristics and concentration of major air pollutants - particulate matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) and black carbon.
Degrading air quality in metro cities is a matter of concern for public health. Massive tree plantation drives are often conducted in order to provide oxygen to choking cities.
A group of scientists and students are braving heat and dust this summer in the national capital to map all possible sources of air pollution so that by winter this year we can get a fair idea of different sources of pollution in the city.
There seems to be no early end to the debate on whether the odd-even scheme implemented by Delhi Government in January 2016 was a success or not.
Airlite is a start-up which has developed unique products to tackle the indoor air pollution as well as in the small public areas.
