Need of effective Air Pollution Control Measures!!

There is a need of effective Air Pollution Control Measures (APCM) adaptation by Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).


This year, Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB), Gandhinagar had conducted Seminar on Odor Control, emphasizing on the consideration of human sensation, i.e. visual and odor, for planing good and effective APCM. Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) had also proposed to Install online Continuous Stack Emission Monitoring Systems (CSEMS) in identified highly polluting industries.

However, in the evening, between 18:00 to 19:00 Hours, while crossing Dr. Ambedkar Bridge, one can observe Black Smoke Emission from stacks of the SMEs located at Danilimda, Ahmedabad. Also, one can sense foul odor near Danilimda BRTS Stop, which may be due to Pirana Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), which is one of the biggest STP in Asia.

The idea, behind writing this article, is to strictly implement Air Pollution Control Systems (APCS) i.e. Bag Filters, Cyclone Separators, Scrubbers, etc. irrespective of the Air Sampling Results, wherever required. Also, photographs of the installed APCS can be intimated to the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB), for the confirmation of implementation of required systems.

If, any Industry does not comply with the given directions, then the SPCB can take heavy fine from the Industry including charges of the New APCS. The fine will be invested by the SPCB, to provide new APCS for the installation in the Industry.

These new APCS can be designed by the SPCB itself, or it can be out sourced to the 3rd party. Both options will open the doors for the adaptation of new technologies as well as also creates new job opportunities.

This approach can lead us to reach the GPCB's goal of developing all round capabilities to protect the environment by preventing and controlling pollution by effective law enforcement and by adopting best environmental management practices to keep the State on course of sustainable development.

Suggest us any idea on taking remedial actions to reduce the Air Pollution in the India.

So called Sustainable Policies Leading to Catastrophe

Sustainable Development is a very complex idea, which makes it is very difficult to understand, even to the Policymakers.   “Sustainable Development is the development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” - Brundtland Commission Ministries of the Government of India have come up with various schemes from time to time. Not getting into any political debate, if one look closely the policy making has been boomed from 2015.  However, it seems like policymakers have misinterpreted the sustainable development terminology and/or the pressure of making more number of policies had requisite them to make contradictory policies, which shall lead to catastrophe. For example, consider the case of "Water Resource in India". India represents 16% of the World Population, accounts for 2.45% of Land Area and Only 4% of Water Resources of the World. The government had alrea...

Heliosphere and Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

Heliosphere and Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation During the discussion on how to harness the  #energy  radiated by the  #sun , to become a type 2  #civilization  characterized by Kardashev, the question arises we are not even close to type 1 civilization, and we are thinking of type 2 and 3. On further discussion, we identified the heliosphere, the protective magnetic bubble generated due to charged particles (electrons and ions or plasma) streaming away from the Sun, which can be a possible explanation of  #cosmic   #microwave   #background  ( #cmb )  #radiation . Considering the heliosphere distance of 100 AU (Astronomical Unit) from the Sun, our  #earth  is approximately at the center of the heliosphere with a distance variation of about 0.01 times the 100 AU. Bingo! If this is true, can microwave photons having an energy of about one micro electron volts (eV) to 0.001 electron volts readily be scattered by the heliosph...

Environmental Economics

Environmental economics is a branch of #economics that focuses on the relationship between the economy and the #environment . It seeks to understand and analyse how human activities impact the natural environment and how the environment, in turn, affects economic systems.  Environmental economics aims to provide insights and tools for addressing environmental challenges and achieving #sustainabledevelopment . In this blog post, we will focus on the working of sustainable #green economics with amendments emphasising the overall development of the world. In 2000, #climatechange had not gained the attention and urgency as today. In 2023, environmental economics is focused on understanding and addressing the economic implications of climate change, including the costs of mitigation and adaptation measures, #carboncredits , and the valuation of ecosystem services affected by climate change. After so many initiatives taken by various organisations, there is still a gap in the #emissio...
