Sangli recorded the cleanest aerial prime successful Maharashtra portion Malegaon is the astir polluted metropolis successful the state, arsenic per an investigation by a clime tech organisation.
According to an aboriginal wintertime aerial prime investigation of the 31 cities successful Maharashtra, carried retired by Respirer Living Sciences (RLS), Kalyan, Chandrapur, Amravati, and Aurangabad recorded cleanest aerial prime aft Sangli.
Meanwhile, Jalgaon, Parbhani, Nagpur and Kolhapur were reported to beryllium the astir polluted cities aft Malegaon. The metro cities of Pune, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane maintained a mean aerial prime by ranking ninth, tenth, twelfth and fourteenth successful the study by RLS, an organisation dedicated towards achieving cleaner aerial and accelerating the modulation to cleaner energy.
The cities were ranked connected the ground of PM 2.5 concentrations that were recorded successful the aerial betwixt November 1 and 16 — the opening of wintertime season, usually known for signaling mediocre Air Quality Index (AQI) arsenic a effect of climatic arsenic good arsenic man-made factors.
According to the report, the mean PM 2.5 attraction recorded successful the polluted cities of Maharashtra ranged betwixt 80 ug/m3 and 105 ug/m3, portion cities that recorded cleanable aerial recorded mean PM 2.5 attraction betwixt 39 ug/m3 and 59 ug/m3.
Malegaon recorded the worst PM 2.5 attraction level astatine 105.3 ug/m3, followed by 101.6 ug/m3 recorded by Jalgaon, 98.2 ug/m3 recorded astatine Parbhani, 81.7 ug/m3 astatine Nagpur and 80.6 ug/m3 astatine Kolhapur. Mumbai’s mean PM 2.5 attraction stood astatine 62.2 ug/m3, portion Thane and Navi Mumbai recorded 69.6 ug/m3 and 67.1 ug/m3 respectively. “Maharashtra’s contrasting aerial prime requires a region-specific approach. While cities similar Sangli show the benefits of sustainable municipality planning, areas similar Vidarbha and Marathwada request contiguous interventions to code concern and vehicular emissions,” the study said.
“Enhancing nationalist proscription systems, enforcing stricter contamination controls successful concern zones, and promoting greenish spaces successful polluted regions are critical,” it added.
According to the RLS report, Mumbai, successful particular, indispensable absorption connected reducing vehicular congestion and improving discarded absorption practices to prolong its mean aerial quality
“These rankings showcase Maharashtra’s aerial prime spectrum, with cities similar Sangli offering a glimpse of what is imaginable erstwhile municipality readying aligns with biology priorities. Balanced improvement and biology wellness are not mutually exclusive. By focusing connected determination solutions, Maharashtra tin pb the mode successful addressing aerial contamination crossed divers municipality and agrarian settings,” said Ronak Sutaria, laminitis and CEO of RLS.
Among the cities that recorded cleanest air, Sangli recorded an mean PM 2.5 attraction of 39.2 ug/m3, followed by 52.5 ug/m3 astatine Kalyan, Chandrapur had 56.3 ug/m3, followed by Amravati astatine 57.3 ug/m3 and Aurangabad astatine 59.3 ug/m3.
