A solution to Delhi's air pollution problem

Pollution is one of the biggest problem we humans are facing today .The rate by which pollution has increased in last few decades has raised a question on the existance of life in future.All the countries of world are worried by the losses caused by pollution.

Our journey continues to before the industrial revolution.over the years , technology has made by great advancements.The advancement have drastically improved our quality of Life..

But does technology affects the air we breathe? 

Well,

There are over 2300 coal power plants world wide.

There are more than 1billion cars world wide over the past century has surpassed all the rest of human history.

Now the question is,

Will the earth still be this beautiful?

Unfortunately, 

Our earth is changing for the worse..

Since, carbon dioxide emissions have increased by 150 times till 1850, there are more than 34600 metric tons of carbon dioxide in our air right now.

China alone emits over 900metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.This is because ,China under went rapid in industrialisation now, Chinese cities are envoloped by thick grey smog breathing in a smog filled city .

Breathing in a smog filled city is like an , amount to smoking upto 3packs of cigarettes a day .out door air pollution is officially classified as a carcinogen .over 7millions death are caused due to air pollution annually.

But did u think why am i talking about air pollution regarding china?

Because we are living in a century were everyone running in a compititive world each and everything is determined due to comparison not only china Infact major problem are arises in our country. As we know India is called as "golden bird " i.e "sone ki chidiya".

But..but..but . actually eventually this bird is still on danger itself now, 

Let's have a view on our current situation..

Air pollution in India is a serious health issue of the most populated cities in the world. There are more than 140million peoples in India breathe air which is hazardous.

 Let talk about the capital city of Mumbai ..

Ye i am talking about Delhi .

 Delhi is one of the most heavily polluted city in India. Which has highest volume of particulated matter pollution.Air quantity index of Delhi is generally moderate (101-200) level between January to September and that is drastically deteriorates to very low(301-400) ,severe(401-500)  or hazardous (500+) level in three months between October to December ,. due to various factors including stubble burning,fire crackers burning during Diwali &cold weather.

Over a million Indians die prematurely every year due to air pollution, according to the no profit health effects institute. In our country over 2 millions children in delhi have abnormalities in there lung function. According to Delhi heart and lungs institute over the past decade air pollution has raised in India significantly e.g Asthma is the leading problem faced by Indian .not surprisingly, it accounts more than 50% of the health problems caused by air pollution which is emitted from vehicles , industries etc . Pollutants are arises from biomass burning for making and keeping warn during winter sessions. Large amount of crop residue burning in agriculture fields . India has a very low per capita emissions of greenhouse gases but our country as a whole is the third largest green house gas producer after china and United States.

Did you know how long delhi smog last ? 

The smog goes last for an about 3months . After the crop residue burn last a few weeks.

Every year farmers burn the stubble or paddy straw of the harvested crops which results into the damage of health and even capital to.yet the country is producing more rice than it needs . which is according to government subsidies. But rice is one of most water-intensive crops and are the major source of greenhouse gases. After burning the stubble since it contains carbon monoxide (co) a pollutant form incomplete combustion.

 Air pollution consist of ground level ozone,a result when nitrogen oxide  react with organic compounds. nitrogen dioxide, emitted primarily from vehicles and many harmful particles and gases. Since , farmers in Punjab and Haryana has to make changes from rice to some other crops to save water and environment "said by Agriculture secretary Siraj Hussain" it means government has help them to shift crops which use less content of water for eg.soybean,pulses,and corn and some compensating them for no loss in earning at least for 2-3years . Due to this we cannot face any problems regarding to agriculture and capital to . 

STEPS WHICH ARE ALREADY TAKEN FOR FOR SOME REVOLUTION.

• Indian government has committed to 50%reduction on household via using solid fuel for cooking.

• higher penalties for burning rubbish and better control of road dust. 

•The most important change i.e odd even rule which is launched by Delhi government in November 2017. i.e it is depends on the odd even rotation method.which means cars must be run with number plates ending in a odd digit that only be driven on a particular days of the week and even digit cars should be driven on the remaining days of the week.

Since India is nine of the world ten most polluted cities. According to WHO urban smog that researchers estimate killed 1.24million people in 2017 but target has not yet been reduced.

Since government's national clean air program has invalid a five year plans by criticized as lacking clean mechanism or robust funding to achieve its aim i.e which results into reducing air pollution in 102 cities by up to 30 per from 2017levels.

The initial aim to increase and improve air pollution across India is needed. 

The government of prime minister Narendra Modi has focused on economic growth,with an objective of creating one million jobs per month to accommodate India's expanding working class .urban air pollution however has reached a point where it can present obstacles to that aim . 

Since " cities are th engines of growth and equity but they have to sustainable".

SOLUTIONS:- 

The DDA ( Delhi Development Authority)is charged lung spaces of cities 44.777hectares ,8,422hectars are reserved for "green " of which DDA manages more than 5050hectars . There are analogue policies like atmospheric pollution, bio- medical waste, domestic refused & sewage treatment.

Goals for upcoming future

•provide farmers with a machine called a happy seeder it is a kind of machine which converts agriculture waste into fertilizers.

• launching new citizen science programs to better document exposures.

• find effective way to inform the citizens about the air pollution.

• Installation of solar panels at home,multi- storey building and commercial place s so that decentralised power is generated with appropriate subsidies meanwhile the cost of solar panels has come down considerably.

• Inverter has to be used for back up supply and diesel generator set not be allow to run .in delhi -NCR till the AQI level comes below 200. 

•Dumpsite landfill should be properly managed by the government to Anable that there is no fire there.

•The present Ro - Ro (Roll - on  Roll - off) scheme launched by Indian railways to carry loaded trucks on goods train to decongest the Delhi roads and reduce air pollution need to be fill up and made compulsory for travel which otherwise pass through delhi.  

Bhagavad Gita 3.14 shloka further says “All living bodies subsist on food grains, which are produced from rain. Rains are produced by performance of yajna [sacrifice], and yajna is born of prescribed duties.”

This means that we are dependent on food, which is dependent on rain and rain can be affected by man-made obstructions.

Pollution is man-made; hence, it should be corrected by man himself.

 Since , it is necessary that all the citizens of the country come together to solve the problem of pollution we as individuals also can take steps to bring pollution in control we can avoid use of smoke emitting vehicles as much as possible planting more trees will be beneficial..

"Plant a tree,grow a flower ,

Let's give the mother earth,

Them back her power"....

The situation may seem dire ,but our

 journey doesn't stop here,

There is hope of turning this,

Let's take the next leg of our journey for the betterment of the world.

Our journey doesn't end here ,it will never ends.

Until there is no air pollution....

I think it is painless for a human to paint scene of nature, until and unless taking stand for  it...........,......
