Air Pollution
2/21/2023 11:07:03 PM

According to the experts, air pollution and climate change are tightly interconnected. Both are two important environmental factors. Climate change can impact the physical, chemical, and biological processes associated with air pollution. Also, emissions of air pollutants can also affect climate, directly and indirectly.
In this context, Lieutenant Governor underlined that clean air is the priority of the administration and he rightly stressed that the National Clean Air Programme should become a mass movement for prevention, control and abatement of air pollution. It is also necessary that scientific research and its benefits reach the public and local institutions.
He rightly underlined that experts should work at the grassroots level and there should be coordination between various experts, academic and administrative institutions on capacity building and public outreach.
As per a latest data by Jammu and Kashmir Pollution Control Board (PCB), Air quality in Srinagar has been consistently deteriorating for the past three years. The pollution, as per experts, causes bodily disabilities, leading to the non-functioning of the vital organs of the body.
Over the years, the government says various steps towards prevention and control of pollution caused by various industries were taken by it.
Two years ago, the Chief Secretary rightly emphasized need for the constant monitoring of air quality in Jammu and Kashmir and asked the Forest Department to install a grid of Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations (CAAQMS) across all districts for real time assessment of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, NH3, CO, O3, and benzene in the J&K. How much progress has been made needs to be reviewed for implementing the National Clean Air Programme in J&K.
Every citizen should discharge their responsibility towards nature and become Green Warrior and Environment Soldier. There is a need to strengthen the monitoring system at grass root level by developing city action plans and micro action plans for local solutions. As has been pointed out by the Lieutenant Governor there should be focus on filling the gaps through policy formulation, capacity building, training program and extending its maximum benefits to concerned individuals including Jammu Kashmir Pollution Control Committee and ULBs.
Productive life of citizens and progress of the region depends upon the health of the environment. All stakeholders, Pollution Control Committee and ULBs must work together for effective implementation of Clean Air Program and to shape the climate future of Jammu Kashmir UT.
