Question

The level of air pollution is very high in a city. Suggest any four measures which should be taken by the government to control it.

Answer 1

Following four measures could be taken by the government to control air pollution:

1. Public transport-buses and auto are to be switched to CNG.
2. Use odd-even methodology to control private vehicles mostly during the winter season.
3. Government should strictly implement the use of ESP in all plants and industries where gaseous pollutants generate more.
4. Industrial areas near the city should be phased out with time by providing a special economic zone at the outskirts of the city and closing down old highly polluting industries.
