Is chennai losing its status as a livable city..!?
A major India-wide conference was held in Bengaluru focusing on the concept of clean air. The Center for Study of Science, Technology, and Policy (CSTEP) and the Center for air pollution Studies (CAPS) jointly organized this conference. This month, from 23rd to 25th of August. Held in Bangalore. The research note published after this conference is alarming, but also a warning to take precautionary measures. In the predata-face of that study, the fifth edition of ICAS plans to explore the need to prioritize clean air with sustainable development and Mission Life, India's most ambitious policy to address climate change, as increasing air pollution seriously affects public health. It is also mentioned that it slows down the economy in developing countries like india and also affects the environment.
According to this study, Chennai's pollution is almost double that of Thoothukudi. The CSTEP study has warned that if the industries and transport services continue as they are now, the maximum air pollution in chennai will increase by 27 percent, Trichy by 25 percent, madurai by 20 percent, and Tuticorin by 16 percent. As chennai, Trichy, madurai, and Thoothukudi have a high percentage of air pollution, it has been requested to take steps to reduce air pollution on a priority basis. It has been explained through this study that only if measures are taken, the level of pollution discharge can be reduced by 36 percent in Trichy, 27 percent in madurai, 27 percent in chennai, and 20 percent in Thoothukudi by 2030.
Commenting on this, the senior researcher of CSTEP Center, Dr. Pratima Singh, "Air pollution can be reduced by shifting fuel consumption from coal to renewable energy, adopting stricter regulations to reduce emissions from industries and transport, and prioritizing quality road infrastructure."
