AIR POLLUTION IN KOLKATA IS ALARMING - UNHEALTHY.
REPAIRABLE PARTICULATE MATTER IS 4 TIMES HIGHER THAN THE SAFE LIMIT.
NOW ON AVE 375-400 mg PER CU mtr as against permissible standard 100 mg/cu mtr. SPM IS 3 TIMES HIGHER THAN SAFE STANDARD. NOx level is also beyond the limit and highest in India.
NOISE LEVEL FLOWS THROUGH AIR IS OVER 100 db AT ALL IMPORTANT ROAD CROSSING. STILL CITY OF JOY
Air Quality is Kolkata is better in comparisons of other big cities
The particulate matter settles more rapidly due to moisture
BUT SETTLEMENT PERIOD OR EVAPORATION TIME IS VERY IMPORTANT.
QUESTION IS DURING PICK HOURS ... BUMPER TO BUMPER DRIVING OF VEHICLES IN HIGHLY CONGESTED ROADS WITH FREQUENT GEAR,CLUTCH & BRAKE OPERATION. SLOW SPEED DRIVING & KEEPING THE VEHICLE ON IDLE STARTING CONDITION DURING TRAFFIC JAM.
MORE THAN50% OF TOTAL VEHICLE POPULATION IS DIESEL DRIVEN IN & AROUND KOLKATA. THEREFORE 60% AIR POLLUTION IS CAUSED BY AUTOMOBILES ONLY.
DURING WINTER SEASON,THE POLLUTION LEVEL IS 3 TIMES HIGHER THAN THE SAFE LIMIT AS PRESCRIBED BY WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION (W H O )
