Pollution is one of the major issues
causing concern not only in India but also
across the world. It is disheartening to
hear that Delhi,our state capital is the
most polluted city among other cities in
the world. Among 1650 cities, Delhi is the
Worst city in pollution. The Air quality
index of Delhi is very poor.People in Delhi
are struggling to breathe. Breathing in
Delhi is equivalent to smoking 50
cigarette in a day!!!!
The main causes of air pollution in Delhi
are vehicular emission, industrial
emission, burning of stubbles, burning
crackers during festive seasons like
Diwali. The amount of particulate matter
in Delhi is increasing day by day.The
amount of nitrogen dioxide,carbon
monoxide etc are also high compared to
other states. In Delhi,the amount of CO is
6000 micro gram per cubic meter. It will
cause respiratory problems, irritation in
eyes and sometimes it may lead to lung
cancer.
Government is taking necessary steps to
curb this menace.Some of those steps
include opening oxygen bars in the state,
banning stubble burning, odd even
scheme of vehicles, introduction of
electronic vehicles etc. We ,the citizen
also stop support government by
following the rules. If each citizen pledge
to do a bit for the country, it is sure we will
be able to control air pollution. Every step
counts. Let’s fight together!
