132. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
The likelihood of at least 600,000 deaths being caused annually in India by ne particulate
matter pollution in the air is cause for worry, even if the data released by the World Health
Organisation are only a modelled estimate. The conclusion that so many deaths could be
attributed to particulate matter 2.5 micrometres a or less in size is, of course, caveated,
sincero comprehensive measurement of PM2.5 is not yet being n done and the linkages
between pollution, disease and in deaths need further study. What is not in doubt is that 1
residents in many urban areas are forced to breathe unhealthy levels of particulates, and the
smallest of these - PM10 and less - can penetrate and get lodged deep in the lungs. The WHO
Global Burden of Disease study has been working to estimate pollution-linked health impacts,
such as stroke and ischaemic heart disease, acute lower respiratory infection and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease. Data on ne particulates in India show that in several
locations the pollutants come from burning of biomass, such as coal, fuel wood, farm litter
and cow dung cakes. In highly built-up areas, construction debris, road dust and vehicular
exhaust add to the problem. The Prime Minister launched an Air Quality Index last year
aimed at improving pollution control. The new data, which the WHO says provide the best
evidence available on the terrible toll taken by particulates, should lead to intensi ed action.
A neglected aspect of urban air pollution control is the virtual discarding of the Construction
and Demolition 3 Waste Management Rules, noti ed to sustainably manage debris that is
dumped in the cities, creating ·severe particulate pollution.
The Environment Ministry has highlighted the role that debris can play as a resource.
Municipal and government contracts are, under the rules, required to utilise up to 20 per cent
materials made from construction and demolition waste, and local authorities must place
containers to hold debris. This is is dumped in the cities ,creating severe particulate pollution.
must be implemented without delay. Providing cleaner fuels and scienti cally designed
cookstoves to those who have no option but to burn biomass, would have a big impact on
reducing particulate matter in the northern and eastern States, which are the worst-hit during
winter, when biomass is also used for heating. Greening the cities could be made a mission,
involving civil society, with a focus on landscaping open spaces and paving all public areas to
reduce dust. These measures can result in lower PM10 and PM2.5 levels. measurement of
these particulates is currently absent in many cities, a lacuna that needs to be addressed.
