III.
As per CPCB Air quality monitoring data (www.cpcb.nic.in), 65 cities and town in India are generally exceeding the ambient air quality standards for RSPM/PM10. Further as per CPCB study 45-54% of RSPM are generally natural origin and rest are manmade.
Action Points
Integrated approach to be taken for RSPM/PM10 control. Source apportionment study to be done for RSPM/PM10 in all non-compliant cities. More use of clean transportation fuel (CNG, LPG, Low Sulphur Diesel etc.) in highly polluted cities. Use of vehicles meeting Bharat Stage-III (akin to EURO-III) standard in non-compliant cities.
V.
Presently 8.14 million tonnes of hazardous wastes is generated from 29716 industries. However, there are only 21 nos of TSDF (Transport, Storage and Disposal Facility) exists, which is inadequate to handle all hazardous wastes. Action Points More TSDF facilities to be set-up under Public Private Partnership mode. Promotion of clean technology to reduce generation of hazardous wastes. Remediation of contaminated hazardous waste dump sites. More common hazardous wastes incinerators as per CPCB guidelines, to be set-up.
Action Points
Common facility for E-Waste management (Collection, Segregation, Recovery of Metals and Reuse Facility) in Public Private Partnership mode to be setup. Comprehensive e-waste management policy to be adopted (as per guidelines issued by CPCB (www.cpcb.nic.in). More emphasis on metal recovery to be given.
Action Points Pollution prevention technologies as developed by CPCB for various SSI units to be adopted. More CETPs to be set-up under Public Private Partnership mode and performance of existing CETPs (more than 100 exists) to be improved. Enforcement of standard in SSI sectors to be strengthened.
