With vehicular emissions emerging as the lead cause of air pollution in various industrial clusters, the HP State Pollution Control Board has proposed phasing out of more than 10-year-old commercial diesel vehicles in the state. The measure also follows a rebuff from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) for the failure to attain the National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) Norms since 2011. The state board is supposed to undertake requisite measures to attain the optimum level of NAAQ.
As many as seven cities in various industrial clusters have to abide by the NAAQ norms and the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has listed them as non-attainment cities. Barring Sundernagar, all cities are located in the industrial clusters and they comprised Baddi, Damtal, Kala Amb, Nalagarh, Paonta Sahib and Parwanoo.The level of particulate matter (PM) 10 in these cities was above the permissible limit with Kala Amb in Sirmaur district and Damtal in Kangra district showing the most adverse results since 2011.
Reports indicate that emissions from diesel vehicles is carcinogenic in nature and one diesel vehicle causes pollution equivalent to 24 petrol vehicles or 40 CNG vehicles. An environmental study conducted by IIT, Kanpur, in 2014 had also stated that vehicular emissions accounted for 81 per cent of air pollution in the state’s industrial hub of Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh.
Main pollutant involved: Particulate matter (PM10) PM10 is usually contributed by burning of fuels, dust from construction sites, forest fire, industrial operations, scrap burning as well as dilapidated roads and it causes several health issues.
