Answer 1

To The Editor,

Hindustan Times,

Kasturba Gandhi Marg,

New Delhi.

Sir,

Subject: Air pollution -a concern.

Through the column of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the kind attention of the concerned authorities and common masses towards the problem of pollution in our city. Among other environmental problems, we have a pollution problem which is on the rise, thanks to the increasing number of factories.

They are the major source of air and water pollution. Air pollution leads to suffocation, breathing problem and lung diseases when our lungs are choked with polluted air. If the air we breathe is polluted, then we will surely be a victim of such diseases.

Factory owners should be aware of this. They should take responsibility for the environment around them. The thick smoke emitted by the chimneys of factories is full of poisonous gases. This mixes with pure air and causes pollution. There should be a strict law to punish the owners of such factories if they do not take the moral responsibility to keep the air clean.

Thank you,

Regards,

Nitin

This paper provides an evidence-based insight into the status of air pollution in Delhi and its effects on health and control measures instituted. The urban air database released by the World Health Organization in September 2011 reported that Delhi has exceeded the maximum PM10 limit by almost 10-times at 198 μg/m3. V
