The Alcohol Rehabilitation Center in New Delhi has something else to discuss today rather than the topics of alcohol addiction etc., but on the topic of the deteriorating health condition in Delhi due to the pollution level. Delhi is India's capital and sixth most populated Metropolis of the world. And it's going on in the news that Delhi is requiring oxygen cylinders and masks nowadays. The Alcohol Rehabilitation Center in New Delhi states that all these are the result of particulate matter pollution and vehicular pollution. In May 2019 the World Health Organisation announced New Delhi as the most polluted city in the world. The problems include overpopulation, unlimited use of resources, scarcity of water, and heavy pressure on the environment. The Alcohol Rehabilitation Center in New Delhi says that this metro city is full of dust on the road and industrial waste air. The vehicular pollution includes diesel powered City buses and trucks, 2 wheelers and 3 wheelers with two stroke engines etc. The people here use their private vehicles more than the public over survey says that 10000 people here may die prematurely in Delhi because of this air pollution.
Learning about pollution even from childhood days is quite practical to the citizens of Delhi. Delhi is known as the heart of India and what an irony that the same Delhi is now injurious for the hearts of Delhiites. Delhi as being the capital of India is soon getting the privilege of the capital of pollution too. It is becoming so due to the increasing rate of pollution in Delhi at an alarming rate. Delhi is getting bounded by all types of pollution i.e Air, Water, Soil or Noise.
Blaming the urbanisation which led to such a critical condition of Delhi is pointless. Many countries or cities around the world are much more developed than Delhi but the pollution level in such countries is far lower than that of Delhi. Gradually the government tried to lower the pollution by making it compulsory for Metro as well as public transport run on CNG. Growth in vehicle number and mileage are another reason for traffic related sources. EPCA report indicates that particles from coal and diesel are more harmful than wind blown dust from vehicular motion is more than that of three Metropolitan cities of Mumbai Kolkata and Chennai all together.
NATIONAL ENVIRONMENT ENGINEERING RESEARCH INSTITUTE reported that almost 8000 tons of solid waste is being generated in Delhi everyday. Since there has been no perfectly developed technology or advancement to treat solid, liquid, waste, water Industrial and Hospital waste in the City. According to WHO, AIR pollution is the fifth largest killing reason in India. Increase in carbon monoxide, Nitrogen dioxide has made the environment very poor and made life of people well, increasing various diseases.
It has become a major concern in Delhi to reduce its pollution. Delhi is on the way to becoming a gas chamber soon because of its harmful environmental conditions. This critical condition has become an issue due to the continuous increase in PM 10 and PM 2. In air due to the increase in personal vehicles, burning of fuels, improper management of industrial waste, burning crackers etc. It's been the dream of the 20's century kids to explore the real fog and the clear blue sky. If this is going to continue, it's sorry to say but Delhi won't remain the place to live in future. Even the Chief Judge of the Supreme Court is planning to shift outside Delhi after their retirement only because of such a hazardous level of pollution.
