Pollution Hazardous

This document analyzes air pollution levels in Delhi, India. It finds that PM 2.5 and PM 10 levels greatly exceed standards, and air pollution claims over 10,000 lives per year in Delhi. Major causes of pollution include industries, vehicles, construction, population growth, and agricultural burning. Solutions proposed include developing satellite cities to reduce population density, improving public transportation, limiting new construction and vehicle registrations, discouraging migration to Delhi, and promoting alternative farming practices to reduce burning. The authors recommend raising public awareness, government investment in pollution-reducing technologies, and improving rural infrastructure to curb migration to Delhi.

NSCC ANALYSIS REPORT 2017

Air pollution’s is real not hyped

Names: Ambuj Tyagi and Achal Tyagi


Institute Name: SHUATS
Address: Ghaziabad
Date of submission: 18-1-2017
Identification of the issue:

1)Records show that the concentration of PM 10 and PM 2.5 in Delhi


are at 283 and 517 micrograms per cubic metre, which is way
beyond the acceptable standards of 60 and 100 respectively.
2)Pollution in Delhi claims the lives of more than 10000 people every
year. And these numbers are only getting higher.
3)Post Diwali 2017, the pollution in Delhi has reached alarming levels,
and people are being advised not to step outside due to the
severity of the pollution levels.
4)So bad is the air in Delhi that living in Delhi is said to be equal to
smoking twenty plus cigarettes every single day.
Background Research:
1)A study by IIT-Kanpur shows that cars and jeeps contribute less than 10% of
particulate matter while trucks are bigger culprits.
- Economic Times, Dec 10 2017

2) A big contributor to Delhi's air pollution is road dust that accounts for about
35% of tiny particles known as PM 2.5 in the air, followed by vehicles, according
to a recent study by the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.
- Hindustan Times, Dec 12 2017

3) The air quality in Delhi, the capital of India, according to a WHO survey of 1600
world cities, is the worst of any major city in the world. Air pollution in India is
estimated to kill 1.5 million people every year; it is the fifth largest killer in India.

database 2014. Retrieved 31 May 2015.
Critical Analysis
Causes:
1)Industries in and around Delhi.
2)Vehicles : i) Increase vehicles road on time
ii) Increase in the private vehicles.
3)Increase in the construction in the capital and NCR.
4)Underline Reasons: Growing Population.
5)Stubble burning in the nearby states especially in Punjab and
Haryana.
Solution:
1) Developing Satellite City Concept: Develop the cities near capital to divert the
masses to these cities for educational, medical and job purposes, this will
reduce the population in capital.
2) Efficient transport management : i) Less traffic on road
ii) Development of efficient public transport ( Electric cars).
iii) Restricting the number of vehicles registering per year.
iv) Cover the silencer of cars with such a cap which can separate the
pollutants.
3) Discouraging new construction in Delhi & NCR and completion of the ongoing
projects on time that too with proper norms.
4) Migration to the capital must be discouraged by creating job opportunities in
villages.
5) Encourage the use of different mode of agriculture in the nearby states such
as use of Happy Seeder machine, which discards the need for stubble burning.
6) Raising public awareness.
Team Recommendation:

As we all can see the worse condition of our country’s capital i.e. New Delhi and
we all know that this going to be worst if measures are not taken. We both as a
team recommend that firstly there should be awareness program to reduce any
kind of pollution at home level because most of pollutions are inter-related to
each other at home level. Secondly, government should invest in inventing,
implementing the things help to reduce the pollution and even can encourage,
for example, silencer cap which can separate and collect the pollutants from
vehicles’ smog. And if the machine (Happy Seeder machine) is costly than it
should be subsidised or commercialized by the help of NGOs. At last, the
government, state’s and centre’ both work together, to reduce the industries in
and around the capital by giving good infrastructure ( specially water, electricity
and roads connectivity) in villages and by maintaining service oriented jobs, this
will help to reduce migration of people towards NCR.
