Pollutants in Mumbai air doubled in a year, BMC smog guns won't help: Experts

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 24 October 2023
Climate experts have criticized the measures taken by the BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) to tackle air pollution in Mumbai. Air quality measurements have shown a significant increase in particulate matter and other pollutants in the city. Experts argue that the anti-smog guns deployed by the BMC are not effective in addressing gaseous emissions and fine particles. They recommend real-time monitoring of polluting sites and stricter enforcement of guidelines to combat air pollution. The National Clean Air Programme has set targets for reducing particulate matter, but Mumbai's air quality has worsened since the program began in 2017.
