Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

'Vehicles, Road Dust & Industries

 

'Vehicles, Road Dust & Industries Main Delhi-NCR Polluters'

Extract from the article:

In the realm of environmental governance, the Commission for Air Quality Monitoring (CAQM) is revisiting the crucial IIT Kanpur-TERI report detailing the sources of air pollution in the Delhi-NCR region.

 

The report underscores road dust and traffic emissions as the primary factors behind Delhi's deteriorating air quality. Additionally, stubble fires, a seasonal woe, contribute significantly to the levels of particulate matter in the form of PM 10 and PM 2.5. The imminent discussions by the CAQM signify a potential shift towards targeted interventions to combat the escalating pollution crisis.


My Take:

Air Pollution in Delhi

The idea to be conveyed to the readers is: "Hey, look at what I thought of/suggested about this topic, 3/5/7 years ago. I had predicted this! I had offered a solution for this."

"Reflecting on my past content, it's evident that my concerns and proposed solutions regarding the alarming air pollution levels in Delhi resonate with the current discourse.

Back in 2017, I highlighted the impacts of vehicular emissions, construction dust, and agricultural residue burning on Delhi's air quality. Furthermore, my advocacy for alternative transport modes like Electric Vehicles aligns with the ongoing emphasis on reducing traffic-related pollution in the region.

It's gratifying to see that the strategies I proposed years ago are now gaining traction in addressing the persistent environmental challenges faced by Delhi residents."

The idea to be conveyed to the readers is: "Hey, look at what I thought of/suggested about this topic, 3/5/7 years ago. I had predicted this! I had offered a solution for this."

"My earlier blog post on the recurring smog and air pollution issues in Delhi sheds light on the cyclical nature of environmental crises faced by the city.

The blame game among politicians and the detrimental effects of pollution on public health, such as the reduction in life expectancy, are themes that continue to dominate discussions today. The recommendations I put forth, like stringent vehicle regulations, water sprinkling on roads, and promoting public transportation, echo the current calls for sustainable urban mobility solutions.

As we witness the unfolding dynamics of pollution control measures, my past insights serve as a testament to the foresight needed to address long-standing environmental challenges."


Call to Action:

To the Commission for Air Quality Monitoring (CAQM) and environmental policymakers: It's essential to leverage the insights from past studies and public recommendations to craft holistic strategies for mitigating air pollution in Delhi-NCR.

Engage with diverse stakeholders, prioritize sustainable solutions, and implement stringent measures to safeguard public health and environmental well-being.
