Reduce Pollution Levels in City:Delhi Govt Partnered with Washington University
In a bid to reduce pollution in the city, Delhi Govt has partnered with Washington University to obtain Real-Time Data to monitor the sources of pollution in the city. Government has also organised a roundtable conference involving environmental experts and agencies will be held on 27th February for assessing the environmental solutions for Delhi.

Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai met with the environment department officials, DPCC scientists, and forest department officials to discuss strategic solutions to various environmental issues pertaining to Delhi and said that the Delhi government has partnered with Washington University to obtain Real-Time Data to monitor the sources of pollution in Delhi. He also said that a roundtable conference involving environmental experts and agencies will be held on 27th February for assessing the environmental solutions for Delhi.

Gopal Rai said, "The environmental issues pertaining to Delhi have been a subject of constant deliberation and concern. When we formed the AAP government five years back, we have taken various measures to decrease pollution in the city. A lot of work has been done in this sector, as a result of which the Delhi government has been able to reduce around 25% of pollution levels in the city, along with the support of various agencies and the people of Delhi. 


Mr. Gopal Rai said that the implementation of the Odd-Even scheme has been a matter of friction since people believe that vehicular emissions do not constitute a major part of the air pollution levels in Delhi. He also said that people believe that the pollution from stubble burning during the last few months was not a major reason for the alarming levels of air pollution in Delhi.

He said, "Obtaining Real-Time Data is necessary to monitor the real sources of pollution at a particular point in time. Until we can gather information about the sources of pollution, we will not be able to devise any mechanism for reducing these sources. There are no generalized sources of this pollution, and so we cannot work on decreasing or eradicating this pollution in a generalized manner. We need to obtain Real-time Data to devise an action plan on how to reduce pollution levels."

According to the data obtained in these monitoring centers, the average PM10 levels in Delhi were 324 µg/m³ in 2014, 295 µg/m³ in 2015, 303 µg/m³ in 2016, 277 µg/m³ in 2017, 277 µg/m³ in 2018, 230 µg/m³ in 2019.  The average PM2.5 levels in Delhi were 149 µg/m³ in 2014, 133 µg/m³ in 2015, 137 µg/m³ in 2016, 130 µg/m³ in 2017, 128 µg/m³ in 2018 and 112 µg/m³ in 2019."

The 13 hotspots in Delhi where the PM10 and PM2.5 concentration levels are generally higher are Jahangir Puri, Narela, Ashok Vihar, Vivek Vihar, Dwarka, Mundka, Rohini, Wazirpur, Okhla, Bawana, Anand Vihar, Punjabi Bagh, and RK Puram. Mr. Gopal Rai said that it has been observed that the PM10 levels and PM2.5 levels have significantly reduced in all 13 locations.

  1. In this fashion my associate Wesley Virgin's autobiography begins in this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.

    Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "mind control" tactics that the CIA and others used to get everything they want.

    These are the exact same SECRETS tons of celebrities (especially those who "became famous out of nowhere") and the greatest business people used to become rich and successful.

    You probably know that you utilize only 10% of your brain.

    Mostly, that's because most of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Maybe that thought has even taken place INSIDE OF YOUR very own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind seven years back, while riding an unregistered, beat-up garbage bucket of a car without a driver's license and $3.20 on his banking card.

    "I'm absolutely frustrated with going through life check to check! When will I become successful?"

    You've taken part in those conversations, ain't it so?

    Your very own success story is waiting to happen. All you need is to believe in YOURSELF.
