In a list of 41 cities, Delhi has been characterized as the fourth most polluted city of the world. The pollution of air in Delhi is added by burning of fossil fuels. Several measures haven been to improve the air quality in Delhi, they are:
Introduction of CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) – CNG is a clean fuel producing very little unburnt substances. The Supreme Court of India has ordered the use of CNG-powered vehicles that were introduced at the end of the year 2006 in order to reduce the pollution levels in Delhi.
Use of old vehicles is discontinued
Use of catalytic converters
Use of Unleaded petrol
Use of diesel and low-sulphur petrol
Applying strict pollution-level norms for vehicles
Vehicles of major Indian cities have been implemented with Bharat Stage I, similar to Euro II norms
Air quality of Delhi has shown improvement due to the introduction of CNG-powered vehicles leading to a considerable dip in the level of SO2 and CO2. But, the issue of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and respiratory suspended particulate matter (RSPM) still exists
b)
Municipal solid wastes
These are the wastes that is produced from offices, schools, stores and homes which is typically rich in metal, glass, food, rubber, leather, paper waste and textiles. Municipal wastes are dumped in landfills and open dumps which serve as a breeding area for mosquitoes, flies and other microbes who have the potential to cause diseases. Therefore, it is crucial to dispose municipal wastes appropriately in order to prevent the diseases from spreading. Some measures for safe disposal of solid wastes are incineration and sanitary landfills.
