Air Pollution Report
Air Pollution Report
Introduction:
The study finds that the vehicular pollution, domestic pollution, industrial
emission, road dust, and garbage burning contribute a large share in Delhi's
total pollution load. Furthermore, construction of infrastructure including large
residential complexes potentially contributes to the Delhi's air pollution load.
The effects of air pollution vary based on the kind of pollutant. But generally,
the impact of air pollution ranges from:
Increased risk of respiratory illness and cardiovascular problems
Increased risk of skin diseases
May increase the risk of cancer
Global warming
Acid rain
Ozone depletion
Hazards to wildlife
Statistical Analysis:
The average AQI of different Monitoring station in Delhi are Alipur(99), Anand
Vihar(128), Ashok Vihar(95), Aya Nagar(80), Bawana(122), Burari Crossing(97),
CRRI Mathura Road(85), DTU(70), Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range(97), Dwarka-
Sector 8(107), IGI Airport (T3)(87), IHBAS Dilshad Garden(80), ITO(110),
Jahangirpuri(125), Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium(92), Lodhi Road - IITM(95), Lodhi
Road - IMD(76), Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium(99), Mandir Marg(93),
Mundka(122), NSIT Dwarka(118), Najafgarh(83), Narela(109), Nehru
Nagar(122), North Campus DU(99), Okhla Phase-2(101), Patparganj(111),
Punjabi Bagh(118), Pusa- DPCC(97), Pusa-IMD(84), RK Puram(120), Rohini(114),
Shadipur(115), Sirifort(96), Sonia Vihar(109), Sri Aurobindo Marg(87), Vivek
Vihar(103), Wazirpur(123) According to Central Pollution Control Board
The average AQI is computed separately for Anand Vihar and DTU by averaging
the daily AQI readings recorded throughout the year 2023. The average AQI
provides a representative measure of the overall air quality experienced in
each location over the specified time period.
Result:
Anand Vihar, known for its high pollution levels, exhibited a significantly higher
average AQI (128) compared to DTU (70), indicating poorer air quality. In
contrast, DTU, representing one of the least polluted areas, demonstrated a
notably lower average AQI, suggesting comparatively better air quality
conditions.
The AQI readings across various monitoring stations in Delhi ranged from 70 to
128, with Anand Vihar exhibiting one of the highest average AQI values among
the stations listed. Other monitoring stations showed varying levels of air
pollution, reflecting the diverse air quality conditions across different regions
of Delhi during 2023.
The higher average AQI observed in Anand Vihar highlights the persistent
challenges associated with air pollution in densely populated and industrial
areas of Delhi. Conversely, the lower average AQI recorded at DTU suggests
the effectiveness of measures taken to mitigate pollution levels in certain
areas, emphasizing the importance of targeted interventions and policies to
improve air quality.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the analysis provides valuable insights into the air quality trends
in Delhi during 2023, highlighting the contrast between the average AQI
readings in Anand Vihar and DTU. The findings underscore the urgency of
implementing comprehensive air quality management strategies aimed at
reducing pollution levels, particularly in highly polluted areas like Anand Vihar.
Continued monitoring and enforcement of air quality standards, along with
investment in cleaner technologies and sustainable urban planning, are
essential to address the complex issue of air pollution in Delhi.
