NEW DELHI: Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, said on Monday, January 30, that his government will now be able to tackle pollution in a more accurate and effective manner with the launch of the real-time source apportionment site in New Delhi.
Kejriwal inaugurated the real-time source apportionment supersite at Rouse Avenue and a mobile van.
The hourly information of the sources of pollution will be shared on the real-time source apportionment supersite. The mobile van will go to a specific location, and the supersite will analyse the data gathered there. We are now introducing one mobile van, but we will shortly be launching more," he said.
The chief minister continued by saying that the government will be better able to address the issue by learning more about the sources of pollution in real-time.
The Chief Minister said that earlier, the government had to rely on old data on pollution.
Delhi environment minister Gopal Rai said the super site is located on Delhi’s Rouse Avenue, within the premises of Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya, and the study on real-time source apportionment will help the govg identify the causes of the rise in air pollution at any location in National Capital. The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) initiated the project in collaboration with IIT Kanpur, IIT Delhi and Energy and Resources Institute.
