India has serious air problem see attached image
We have a serious air problem in India. Can the Ministry of Environment and Health please take this seriously. We celebrate lots of days but dont do any strict policy enforcement and people outreach.
Please read this latest satellite report below and see attached pictures. If we dont act we will have lung cancer epidemic and our next generation will have smaller lungs and asthama issues.
There is something very distinct about the air over India and the surrounding countries in South Asia.
It is the presence of formaldehyde - a colourless gas that is naturally released by vegetation but also from a number of polluting activities.
The elevated concentrations have been observed by Europe's new Sentinel-5P satellite, which was launched last October to track air quality worldwide.
Compared to the major constituents like nitrogen and oxygen, the formaldehyde signal is actually very small; in every billion air molecules just a few will be CH₂O. But it can be a signifier of more general pollution problems, says Isabelle De Smedt from the Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA-IASB).
"The formaldehyde column is composed of different sorts of volatile organic compounds, and the source can be from vegetation - so, from natural origin - but also from fires and pollution," she told BBC News.
"It depends on the region but 50-80% of the signal is from some biogenic origin. But above that you have pollution and fire. And the fire can be from coal burning or wildfires, but in India, yes, you have a lot of agricultural fires."
India also uses considerable quantities of wood in the home for cooking and heating.
When volatile organic compounds are brought together with nitrogen dioxide (NO₂, from fossil fuel burning) and sunlight, reactions will produce ground-level ozone.
This is a severe respiratory irritant that can lead to significant health problems.
It took years to get similar data from the previous instrument
Notice how the Himalaya Mountains essentially corral the air on the plains, preventing it from moving north.
The relative low in formaldehyde concentration in north-west India is centred over the desert lands of Rajasthan, where, obviously, there is much less vegetation and fewer people. more

Sorry miss Anu Kaur. Our atmosphere has all kind of gases needed for our healthy living and growth of vegetation/plantation. But such gases start escaping once the temperature increases and try to go up in the atmosphere. The use of Air Conditioners in vehicles / homes / and establishments are the basic and main cause of increase in heat -temperature near the earth surface. A survey will help you realise that the air problem is more in places where there is little variation in day and night temperature. What govt. will do in this. Let public be aware of it and minimise the use of air conditioners. ANURAG CHATURVEDI 6th July 2018. ________________________________ From: Anu Kaur Sent: Saturday, June 23, 2018 7:51 PM To: chaturvedi_anurag@hotmail.com Subject: "India has serious air pro..." more

Continued urbanisation and deforestation are making all the differences. This is an added threat to many others we are facing in leading a normal life. God save us and our nation. more

MAR Ansari. There continue to be polluters and whistle blowers. There is no end to the blame game. In the 1st instance the MOEF&EC ministry may evaluate why our own research agencies could not come out with such data and remedial measures. No doubt Govt has dual responsibility and limitations. Success there fore lies in the effective participation and public support. Our Statutory field spread however is inadequate and ineffective for enforcing reliable data acquisition and monitoring the implementation of conditions prescribed at apex level. High time Govt enact and form an independent monitoring agency with adequate teeth to bite the culprits. Govt may also consider involvement of NGOs and reputed scientists/researchers/engineers in the new set up for added transparency. more
