ट्विन टॉवर गिरते ही दिल्‍ली-NCR में बढ़ेगा प्रदूषण, नोएडा में लंबा रह सकता है असर, CSE विशेषज्ञ बोले

नोएडा में बनी सुपरटेक ट्विन टावरों को गिराए जाने का दिन नजदीक आ गया है. इसके लिए इमारतों में विस्‍फोटक लगाने की प्रक्रिया भी पूरी कर ली गई है. 28 अगस्‍त को इन दोनों टावरों को ध्‍वस्‍त कर दिया जाएगा. भारी मात्रा में पैदा होने वाली धूल और मिट्टी के प्रदूषण से बचने और इमारत गिरने के दौरान सुरक्षित रहने के लिए आसपास की इमारतों में रहने वाले लोगों को भी एक दिन के लिए वहां से हटाया जाएगा. हालांकि पर्यावरण विशेषज्ञों की मानें तो मसला सिर्फ एक दिन की धूल-मिट्टी का नहीं है बल्कि इमारतों के गिरने से पैदा हुआ वायु प्रदूषण कई दिनों तक परेशान करेगा. इतना ही नहीं इस ध्‍वस्‍तीकरण से न केवल ट्विन टावर के इलाके में रह रहे लोगों को पर्यावरण प्रदूषण संबंधी दिक्‍कतें झेलनी पड़ेंगी, बल्कि पूरे दिल्‍ली एनसीआर में प्रदूषण का स्‍तर बढ़ने का अनुमान है. सेंटर फॉर साइंस एंड एनवायरनमेंट के क्‍लीन एयर कैंपेन प्रोग्राम मैनेजर अविकल सोमवंशी कहते हैं कि ट्विन टावर को गिराने का काम वैसे तो पूरे नियम-कानूनों के अनुसार हो रहा है. ध्‍वस्‍तीकरण के दौरान होने वाली धूल के लिए वहां ऑटोमैटिक वाटर स्प्रिंकलर के साथ वाटर टेंडर मौजूद रहेंगे. इसके अलावा लोगों की सुरक्षा से लेकर बचाव के लिए हर चीज का ध्‍यान रखा जा रहा है लेकिन भारत में पहली बार इतनी बड़ी इमारतें विस्‍फोटकों से गिराई जा रही हैं, इसका असर दिल्‍ली-एनसीआर की हवा में दिखाई देगा. जब भी कोई छोटा मकान बनता है या छोटी इमारत ढहाई जाती है तो हफ्तों तक उस इलाके में धूल और मिट्टी फैल जाती है जबकि ये तो 100 मीटर से भी ज्‍यादा ऊंची और काफी बड़ी दो इमारतें हैं. अविकल कहते हैं कि यह एक अच्‍छी बात है कि इन इमारतों को इस मौसम में गिराया जा रहा है. जबकि हवा भी चल रही है और बारिश का भी मौसम है. अगर इमारतें गिरने के बाद बारिश हो जाती है तो यह काफी अच्‍छा होगा. इससे उड़ती धूल, प्रदूषण के बड़े और छोटे कण बैठ जाएंगे. हवा में कम घुटन और प्रदूषण होगा और यह आसपास रहने वाले लोगों के लिए बेहतर होगा लेकिन अगर बारिश नहीं होती और तेज हवा चलती है तो ये मिट्टी के कण उड़कर दूर तक जाएंगे. यह निश्चित ही ट्विन टावर के आस-पास रह रहे लोगों को भी परेशान करने के अलावा दूर-दराज तक हवा में मौजूद रहेंगे और प्रदूषण को बढ़ाएंगे. इससे पूरा अनुमान है कि दिल्‍ली-एनसीआर के प्रदूषण स्‍तर में इजाफा होगा और खासतौर पर नोएडा की वायु गुणवत्‍ता पर असर देखा जा सकेगा. अविकल कहते हैं कि छोटी इमारतों में प्रदूषण को रोकने के लिए कई चीजें की जाती हैं. धूल पर पानी डालने के अलावा उस एरिया को हरे कवर से ढका जाता है लेकिन यह ज्‍यादा बड़ी बिल्डिंग हैं, उसके लिए इतनी ज्‍यादा सुरक्षा करना काफी मुश्किल है और फिर ऊपर से वह विस्‍फोट के माध्‍यम से गिराई जा रही है. लिहाजा इमारतों में विस्‍फोट के बाद जब तक पूरा मलबा उस जगह से साफ नहीं हो जाएगा. तब तक जैसे-जैसे हवा चलेगी, परेशानी होगी. वे कहते हैं कि केरल के कोच्चि और मराडु में चार टावर गिराई गई थीं. उस जगह से मलबा हटाने में दो महीने से भी ज्‍यादा का समय लगा था. इससे वहां की वायु में प्रदूषण पांच गुना तक बढ़ा हुआ देखा गया था. वायु गुणवत्‍ता में आई इस खराबी का खामियाजा वहां के लोगों को स्‍वास्‍थ्‍य संबंधी परेशानियों के रूप में झेलना पड़ा था. नोएडा की ट्विन टावरों से भी काफी ज्‍यादा मलबा निकलेगा, जो एक से दो महीनों में जाकर पूरी तरह साफ होगा, ऐसे में वहां आसपास रहने वाले लोगों के लिए भी यह एक चुनौती से कम नहीं है. हालांकि काफी हद तक चीजें मौसम और हवा की गति पर निर्भर करेंगी.

North India most-polluted region in 2022 summers: CSE

North India emerged as the most-polluted region in the country in summers this year with Delhi-NCR being the hotspot, according to a new analysis by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE). The green think-tank said the average PM2.5 concentration in north India in summers stood at 71 microgram per cubic metre. It was 69 microgram per cubic metre in east India, 54 microgram per cubic metre in west India, and 46 microgram per cubic metre in central India, it said. Northeast India (35 microgram per cubic metre) and South India (31 microgram per cubic metre) were cleaner compared to other regions, it said. In north India, Delhi-NCR was found to be the most-polluted sub-region, with Bhiwadi reporting the highest average PM2.5 concentration of 134 microgram per cubic metre. Manesar reported average PM2.5 concentration of 119 microgram per cubic metre, Ghaziabad (101 microgram per cubic metre), Delhi (97 microgram per cubic metre), Gurugram (94 microgram per cubic metre) and Noida (80 microgram per cubic metre), it said. PM2.5 summer average of Delhi-NCR region is almost three times the average of the cities in southern India.

Pollution will increase in Delhi-NCR as the twin tower falls, the effect may remain in Noida, CSE experts say

The day of demolition of supertech twin towers made in Noida has come to a close. For this, the process of explosion in buildings has also been completed. Both these towers will be destroyed on 28 August. People living in nearby buildings will also be removed from there for a day to avoid huge amounts of dust and soil pollution and stay safe during building fall. However, according to environmental experts, the issue is not only for one day dust and soil, but the air pollution produced by the fall of buildings will bother for several days. Not only this, this discomfort will not only have to face environmental pollution problems to people living in the area of ​​twin tower, but the level of pollution is expected to increase in the entire Panchayat NCR. Center for Science and Environment Clean Air Campaign Program Manager Avikal Somvanshi says that the work of demolishing the twin tower is being done according to the whole rules and regulations. Water tenders will be present with automatic water sprinkler for dust occurring during the disciplination. Apart from this, everything is being taken care of from safety to rescue of people, but for the first time in India, such large buildings are being demolished by explosions, its effect will be seen in Delhi-NCR air. Whenever a small house is built or a small building is demolished, dust and soil spread in that area for weeks, whereas these are more than 100 meters high and much larger buildings. Avikal says It is a good thing that these buildings are being dropped in this season. While the wind is also moving and the rain is also the season. If it rains after the buildings fall, it will be very good. This will make big and small particles of flying dust, pollution. There will be less suffocation and pollution in the air and it will be better for the people living around but if there is no rain and strong wind blows, then these soil particles will fly away. This will definitely be present in the air and will increase pollution besides harassing the people living around the twin tower. From this, it is estimated that the pollution level of Delhi-NCR will increase and especially the impact on Noida's air quality can be seen. Avikal says that many things are done to prevent pollution in small buildings. Huh. Apart from pouring water on the dust, that area is covered with green cover but it is more big building, it is very difficult to protect it so much and then it is being dropped through the explosion from above. So after the explosion in buildings, the whole debris will not be cleaned from that place. Till then, as the wind blows, there will be trouble. They say that four towers were dropped in Kochi and Maradu in Kerala. It took more than two months to remove debris from that place. Due to this, pollution in the air there was seen to be increased by five times. The brunt of this malfunction in the air quality had to bear the people there as health problems. There will be a lot of debris from the twin towers of Noida, which will be completely clean in one to two months, so it is no less than a challenge for the people living there. However, to a large extent, things will depend on weather and wind speed.

North India is most polluted, Delhi-NCR area a hotspot: Research

North India is most polluted with the Delhi-NCR area being a hotspot based on new information. A nationwide evaluation by the Centre for Science and Atmosphere (CSE) has put forth that the Particulate Matter2.5 common within the northern capital area is sort of 3 times the typical of cities in southern India. Whereas air pollution this summer time has been larger than air pollution final summer time; the very best each day peak of air pollution has been recorded in cities of Bihar. It’s also attention-grabbing to notice that it’s not the mega cities that are most polluted however smaller cities have change into air pollution hotspots. Bhiwandi in Rajasthan tops the record. The excessive stage of summer time air pollution is the results of a mixture of air pollution from autos, business, energy crops, waste burning, and mud sources and wind-blown mud, aggravated by warmth and arid circumstances. For the examine, information from March 1 to Might 31 has been thought-about. Apart from the truth that Delhi-NCR is essentially the most polluted, different main findings are that each day peak air pollution was the very best in east India, with cities of Bihar recording the very best ranges: Summer time each day peak PM2.5 ranges for east India stood at 168 µg/m³, the very best amongst all of the areas. North India with 142 µg/m³ summer time peak was the second worst. West India (106 µg/m³), central India (89 µg/m³), cortheast India (81 µg/m³) and south India (65 µg/m³) additionally recorded summer time peak in extra of 60 µg/m. Inside north India, Delhi NCR was discovered to be most polluted sub-region. The cities of Bihar recorded very excessive summer time PM2.5 averages, with Bihar Sharif reporting the very best summer time peak of 285 µg/m³. Katihar (245 µg/m³) and Patna (200 µg/m³) additionally recorded peak stage in extra of 200 µg/m³. Rohtak recorded the very best peak air pollution in north India with a 258 µg/m³ each day peak. One other key discovering is that north India has recorded a staggering 23 per cent improve in seasonal PM2.5 stage in comparison with the earlier summer time. Inside north India, NCR was the worst performing sub-region with 25.8 per cent improve in seasonal PM2.5 stage. Central India registered improve of 15.6 per cent whereas west India (4.2 per cent) and east India (1.8 per cent) registered improve below 5 per cent. South India confirmed no change within the seasonal common however noticed a decline of twenty-two per cent in seasonal peak. Northeast India registered drop in each seasonal common (-12.8 per cent) and seasonal peak (-18.3 per cent). East India was the one area which registered a rise in its seasonal peak in comparison with final summer time. In south India, eight cities present an growing development. Kozhikode noticed a bounce of 76 per cent in summer time common and 17 per cent improve in peak. Kochi has essentially the most divergent development with 55 per cent improve in the summertime common however its peak improve by 145 per cent. Different cities with growing development within the area are Madikeri, Bengaluru, Puducherry, Amravati, Chikkaballapur, and Thiruvananthapuram. “This evaluation identifies the distinctive patterns of air pollution throughout all areas and places a highlight on numerous cities and cities that don’t get coverage consideration. Summer time particulate air pollution spikes as a consequence of arid circumstances, excessive summer time warmth and temperature, and extra airborne mud particles that journey lengthy distances compounding the issue from native sources,” stated Anumita Roychowdhury, govt director, analysis and advocacy, CSE.
