High level of pollution in Chennai...
If you live in north or south Chennai, chances are that the deteriorating air quality is responsible for your health problems.
The air quality of industrial areas in Ennore, as well as in Poes Garden and Boat Club are above the standards prescribed by the environment ministry, according to a report by Coastal Resource Centre.
The centre took eleven air samples in and around North Chennai and Chennai city as part of their air quality study in Ennore 2016. 24-hour samples were taken using filters fitted to a low volume air sampler and analysed for PM 2.5 (Particulate Matter or dust less than 2.5 micrometers in size).The key documented sources of PM 2.5 pollution are automobile exhaust, burning of coal, burning garbage and landfill, smelting processing of metals.
Surprisingly, 10 out of the 11 air samples were between 1.4 and 3.7 times higher than prescribed by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change. The air quality of Nallathaneer Odai Kuppam in Ennore is the highest with 220 micrograms per cubic meter air.
Other areas from Ennore include Manali with 156 ug/m3, Sivanpadaiveethi Kuppam with 156. 90 ug/m3 and Kodingayur with 154.90 ug/m3 which is all considered very unhealthy according to the US Environment Protection Agency.
The Ennore region has 3300 MW of installed coal power plant capacity, with more than 1500 acres as dedicated coal ash dumps, says the report.
Highlighting the health effects of bad air quality, Dr. Hissamudin Papa, Founder and Director, HUMA Hospitals said, “We visited these areas in Ennore and found various health issues. Children who are 14 to 15-years-old look like they are 8-years-old. Women have hormonal issues and infertility. Many people have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in these areas, the pollution needs to be reduced in these areas .”
