CHANDIGARH: Two days after the Punjab Pollution Control Board challenged the report of the World Health Organisation which has ranked Patiala 13th in the record of most polluted towns in the world, the Haryana govt additionally countered the report findings on Faridabad (2d in the record) raising doubts over source of the data.
Haryana setting and climate change minister Vipul Goel on Friday stated the source of the data, on which the report is based totally, isn't clear.
He stated the Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) has been tracking the data since 2010 through Continuous Air Ambient Quality Monitoring Station in Faridabad and Gurgaon. As in step with the details available with the board, the PM 2.5 price of both the towns are being monitored often since 2013.
“These values go beyond 170 micrograms in step with cubic metre (µg/m3) simplest right through a temporary season round Diwali, crop harvesting season and peak winters when the temperature is low and wind pace is minimal. Therefore, it's not justified to assert that the common PM 2.5 price is above 170 µg/m3 in Faridabad,” stated Goyal
The report which claims that town like Srinagar may be one in all most polluted towns in the world raises doubts in regards to the source of the data, the minister stated. Even Patiala’s air air pollution degree has been positioned moderately high in response to PM 2.5 values recorded from 2010 to 2016, and Punjab too claims that it never monitored PM 2.5 values and the sources aren't identified to its personal air pollution regulate board, Goel added.
Faridabad suffers most commonly due to the air pollution in the neighbouring Delhi. Its personal sources come with cars and development mud and Delhi’s air pollution is significantly high with further sources from steady municipal solid waste burning. Delhi’s air pollution degree has always remained higher than those two towns as indicated through our stories. Now, putting Faridabad has been positioned above Delhi in the WHO report which is not logical, he stated.
