The air quality in Kolkata took a concerning turn, as six out of seven Continuous Air Quality Monitoring Stations (CAAQMS) registered 'poor' air quality. Of particular note is the Ballygunge station, which breached the 'very poor' category for the first time this season, raising alarms among environmental experts.
The Fort William CAAQMS, situated near the river in the green zone of Maidan, maintained a 'moderate' air quality, while even the typically green zone of Rabindra Sarobar witnessed a decline from 'satisfactory' to 'poor' air quality on Thursday morning. Environmentalists attribute these deteriorating conditions to meteorological factors, including the inversion of layers.
With Diwali approaching, concerns grow about the potential exacerbation of the situation due to firework festivities, as green crackers emit both particulate matter and gaseous fumes. Experts emphasize compliance with the Supreme Court's two-hour limit for fireworks to mitigate further air quality degradation.
