Prohibitive steps for vehicular pollution
The Energy Research Institute, New Delhi has released a report in the year 2009 which has data on pollutants released in the atmosphere due to vehicular pollution in the country. The estimated amount released in the year 2007 is 04.28, 02.02, 01.83 and 0.25 (all figures in million tonnes) for the parameters of Carbon Mono-oxide (CO), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), Hydro-carbon (HC) and Particulate Matter (PM) respectively.
The Centre for Ecological Studies, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, in its report “Emission from India’s Transport Sector” has estimated the amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) released in the year 2003-04 to be 243.82 million tonnes.
The prohibitive steps taken to protect the environment are as under:
(i) Bharat Stage (BS) III emission norms for passenger cars and BS II norms for two wheelers in ten metro cities, namely, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad/Secunderabad, Kanpur, Pune, Surat and Agra apart from National Capital Region are implemented since 01.04.2005.
(ii) BS IV emission norms for passenger cars and B.S. III for two wheelers in above 10 metro cities apart from National Capital Region have been notified with effect from 01.04.2010.
(iii) Stricter pollution under control (PUC) norms for in-use vehicles have been implemented with effect from 01.10.2004.
(iv) The emission standards for industries have been notified under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.
(v) National Mission on Sustainable Habitat has been launched under the National Action Plan on Climate Change covering inter alia the transport sector.
(vi) Fuel quality in accordance with the roadmap of Auto Fuel Policy has been ensured across the country.
(vii) Mass rapid transport system (MRTS) including Metro has been introduced in select metro cities in the country.
(viii) Infrastructure related to construction of flyovers, bridges and roads, to reduce congestion, has been augmented.
This information was given by the Shri Namo Narain Meena, Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance and currently looking after Ministry of Environment and Forests in a return reply to question by Shri S.Anbalagan in the Rajya Sabha today.
