Microplastic in 82% Delhi's tap water

Yes there is a standard by IS codes and the international agencies which NDMC follows and they have a dedicated water testing lab at vinay marg. I don't know about other MCD bodies but NDMC lab has latest equipment and test are done properly. I can say this because i myself worked in water testing at that lab itself during my project in University. more
