NEW DELHI: The Centre will soon initiate the process for standardisation of equipment, data and all different parameters required to measure purity of air, Environment Minister Harsh Vardhan said on Wednesday.
The minister was once talking at an tournament right here to announce the synchronisation of Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) regional positioning device 'NAVIC' with Indian atomic clocks.
A memorandum on behalf of the 33rd Asia Pacific Metrology Programme General Assembly and Related Meetings 2017 (APMP GA 2017) was once submitted to the minister at the occasion.
The memorandum referred to as for framing of a countrywide coverage wherein "calibration and certification of instruments" can be taken up for a blank setting, an idea that was once accredited by means of the surroundings minister.
Vardhan admitted that many professionals had advised him that the factors in use for measuring PM 2.five and PM 10 ranges of pollution and so forth, were excess of the actual standards.
"If it is so, there is an urgent need to set these standards because otherwise you keep frightening your people," he said.
The setting minister said the initiation for standardising apparatus, data and different parameters to pass judgement on air high quality was once a "very important thing" for him.
"I feel for that to be carried out, I would not have any directions from anyone. Our top minister can be happy if I get started the process for standardisation of equipment associated with environmental issues.
"This procedure will be initiated at the earliest. We could have a gathering of professionals from Science and Technology ministry, setting ministry and the Central Pollution Control Board," the minister added.
