"Earlier, the air pollution levels were being measured based on PM10 micron levels. But CPCB has purchased four instruments to monitor PM2.5 micron levels. With the help of these instruments, a team of 30 students from our department will be voluntarily carry out the two day exercise to monitor the pollution and pollutants level in the city," stated professor Arun Arya, officiating head of the Department of Environmental Studies at MSU's Faculty of Science.
