Sir:
I am writing this letter to express my deep concern over the ever increasing vehicular pollution. The number of vehicles have been rising drastically in all the cities in India. It is estimated that approximately 217.7 tons of carbon monoxide is emitted in all the metropolitan cities. Similarly, 66.7 tons of hydrocarbons are released in the air every day. Other pollutants such as lead, Sulphur dioxide, and particulate matter are released into the air.
These pollutants cause many serious health hazards such as cough, nausea, headache, , irritation of eyes, various bronchial and visibility problems. The Government and people must join hands to overcome this problem. The Government must ban very old vehicles; the Government must also start providing electrical vehicles to people at subsidized cost. People must also adopt pollution free vehicles.
I appeal to the Government to implement air pollution control policies at the earliest. Kindly give my views enough space in the columns of your esteemed daily.
Thanking you.
Yours truly,
Kapil
