The Status

Studies on air pollution in large cities of India showed that ambient air pollution concentrations are at such levels where serious health effects are possible. This paper presents overview on the status of air quality index (AQI) of Jhansi city by using multivariate statistical techniques. This base line data can help governmental and non-governmental organizations for the management of air pollution.

Waste Burning

Abstract: Open burning of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a poorly-characterized and frequently-underestimated source of air pollution in developing countries. This paper estimates the air pollution happening from MSW burning in municipality areas of the Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. Air quality models (AQMs) are critical components for urban air quality management because they can predict and forecast air pollutant concentrations. Advanced AQM, such as AERMOD, has a well-established application in the developed world provided sufficient input data is available. However, in poor countries, it is limited due to a lack of adequate and trustworthy data. The present study is focused to assess the urban air quality due to municipal solid waste burning around a Sangam city Prayagraj in India using dispersion modelling. Keywords: PM10, PM2.5, Air Quality Modelling, AERMOD

The present study aim at seasonal and diurnal pollution potential at Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. To assess the pollution potential, meteorological data for five year period (1982-86) of Lucknow have been analyzed for four season, viz.; Winter (December-February), Summer (March-May), Southwest Monsoon (June-September) and Post Monsoon (October-November). Seasonwise wind roses, stability, stability wind roses have been prepared and season wise diurnal variation of mixing height and ventilation coefficient have also been worked out. It is found that Lucknow has a better diffusion capacity in summer and poor in winter. Afternoon hours are better for vertical mixing. The winds are predominant from west to north direction in all season except in monsoon where it blows from east direction.

Solid fuel use is an important contributor to air pollution and disease burden in India. We present survey evidence documenting LPG ownership and cooking fuel use in rural north India. LPG ownership has increased rapidly, substantially driven by the Ujjwala Yojana. Three-quarters of rural households in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh now have LPG. Almost all of these households also have a stove that uses solid fuels, and among those owning both, almost three-quarters used solid fuels the day before the survey. Household economic status, relative costs of cooking fuels, gender inequality, and beliefs regarding the ease, food taste, and health impacts of cooking with solid fuels versus LPG are important contributors to high solid fuel use despite LPG ownership. Households that continue to use solid fuels continue to expose themselves and their neighbours to harmful air pollution. To realize the full health benefits of Ujjwala’s expansion in LPG ownership, attention must now be turned towards discouraging the use of solid fuels and promoting exclusive use of LPG. This is an urgent priority for research, policy, and action.

Stubble Burning

The states of India including Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and Himachal Pradesh follow combine harvesting method followed by burning of crop stubble to clear the fields for next crop. Crop stubble burning is the reason of annual increment in pollution concentrations which lead to massive winter pollution in the region. However, several initiatives for its proper management have been taken up by various departments and institutions of the states’ government but still air pollution level is increasing. Instead of burning the crop residue, it can be used in other ways, which are beneficial to humanity. Keeping in view the increasing problems associated with the crop stubble burning in the state of Punjab, we have taken some steps towards exploring alternative uses of straw instead of burning. This study is an attempt to outline alternative use like use of rice straw for generation of electricity through microbial fuel cell. With the help of this crop stubble, electricity can be produced, and it can be used as a sustainable source of energy in the remote areas. This study underscores the importance of rice straw as a potential source of biomass for recovering energy through MFCs. It is also focused on suggesting policies to the government so that air pollution can be minimized in affected areas.
