Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has inaugurated a “super site” and a mobile van which will collect pollution data in realtime and tell its constituents.
The supersite is situated in Delhi’s Rouse Avenue, within the Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya premises.
The study on real-time source apportionment will assist in determining the causes of the rise in air pollution at any specific location in Delhi.
The project has been initiated by the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) in collaboration with IIT Kanpur, IIT Delhi and TERI.
The launch of the super site is one of the most important aspects of Delhi’s campaign to combat pollution.
Based on the data, this super site will also assist in forecasting air pollution levels enabling the government to deploy its resources to combat pollution.
