Now it can be said that when the society did not wake up to the health system due to the orgy of death during the second wave of the corona epidemic, What would he care about the slow poison of pollution!

If we look at the common psyche in India, then it is understandable that people here do not even feel the value of their own life, leaving aside the lives of others. Otherwise, environmental norms are not neglected in this country as it often seems. Generally people do not realize how bad air is reducing their life span. While there is no dearth of information about this. If anyone wants to get the latest information, then one can look at the latest report of the Center for Science and Environment (CSE), a Delhi-based organization. CSE has released this report on pollution in cities of North India. For his research, he analyzed data for 2021 of PM 2.5 (particulate matter) in 56 cities in North India. The results of his research are shocking. According to this, there is a marginal difference in PM 2.5 trends between cities that are covered under the National Clean Air Program (NCAP) and those outside its purview. The NCAP has set a target of reducing the amount of PM 2.5 and PM 10 in the country by 20 to 30 percent by 2024.

The CSE has said that only 43 cities with NCAP have sufficient PM 2.5 data for 2019-2021, which is sufficient to monitor progress. CSE says that after the Kovid lockdown in the country, there has been the fastest increase in pollution levels in Mumbai. At the same time, the pollution level in Chennai has decreased after Kovid. Pollution has increased by 13 percent in Delhi after the Kovid lockdown. During the lockdown, the environment had improved due to the reduction in pollution. But as soon as normal life is restored, those elements are dissolving in the atmosphere as fast as before, which scientists call slow poison. Now it can be said that when the society which did not wake up to the health system due to the orgy of death during the second wave of the corona epidemic, what would it care about the slow poison!
