[h=1]Studies on Delhi air failed due to use of wrong parameters, says Jamia prof[/h] [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toireporter/author-Mohammad-Ibrar-479245494.cms"]Mohammad Ibrar[/URL]| TNN | Updated: Mar 5, 2018, 02:19 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63162966,width-400,resizemode-4/63162966.jpg[/IMG]Representative image. NEW DELHI: A professor of environmental [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/studies"]studies[/URL] at [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Jamia-Millia-Islamia"]Jamia Millia Islamia[/URL] has claimed that the studies conducted on Delhi�s air pollution are faulty as these were conducted against wrong parameters. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/63162969/Master.jpg[/IMG] Citing the non-linear and amorphous structure of the city and poor [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/air"]air[/URL] circulation as the major reasons behind the city�s [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/air-pollution"]air pollution[/URL], S M Akhtar suggested creation of micro-forests perpendicular to major wind directions in the city and making winter a no-construction season. The studies on air pollution in Delhi have [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/failed"]failed[/URL] as these have used the same tools as those applied in linear cities like Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai, Akhtar said. �There is a need to study Delhi�s urban form and population density pattern.� Delhi is a city that is expanding at all directions, he added. Akhtar claimed that the major source of the environmental problem is yet to be identified. �I believe that the major source of pollution is dust particles from construction sites and material transportation that also catalyse depletion of watersheds and green mass of the city.� Accordingto his study, Delhi�s concentric form and growth makes the replacement and natural revitalisation of air mass polluted by human activities very tough. �This was corroborated when we witnessed the comparison of the linear north-south urban forms of Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata though they have a higher population density.� Elaborating the point, Akhtar said that in linear cities, the form and orientation allows the east-west wind that travel in India to regularly replace the air mass in the city. �The linear form also allows a spinal public route for transportation that is difficult in a circular city like Delhi as it has multiple and longer routes that makes it a compulsion for many to increasingly use private transport, leading to congestion.� The professor suggested improvement of public transport as a major step to help Delhi. Akhtar also said creation of micro-forests perpendicular to the major wind directions of the city would replenish air �much like how it was done in New Raipur�. New green patches will also improve the city�s rainwater retention capacity and replenish groundwater, he added.

[h=1]Delhi slaughterhouse takes green steps[/h] Paras Singh| TNN | Updated: Mar 5, 2018, 01:15 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63162792,width-400,resizemode-4/63162792.jpg[/IMG]With the east corporation trying to reduce the pollution footprint of the city�s only functional slaughterhous... Read More NEW DELHI: With the east corporation trying to reduce the pollution footprint of the city�s only functional [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/slaughterhouse"]slaughterhouse[/URL], the Ghazipur [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/landfill"]landfill[/URL] site and its surrounding areas are likely to get respite from one of the most polluting forms of waste. The Ghazipur slaughterhouse, which processes over 5,000 livestocks in a four-hour batch, has been a constant source of pollution and unbearable stench for its surrounding areas. Flouting both municipal solid waste rules 2016 and slaughterhouse rules 2001, it dumps around 60-70 tonnes of such waste � blood, entrails and undigested food � in the Ghazipur open landfill site every day. After repeated raps by [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi-Pollution-Control-Committee"]Delhi Pollution Control Committee[/URL] (DPCC), commissioner Ranbir Singh has announced modernisation plans to tackle the waste generated during the slaughtering by setting up facilities like a blood processing unit and a biomethanation plant, and redeveloping the adjacent livestock market. The blood released during the slaughtering process will now be collected and scientifically processed instead of releasing it into the drain, said Dr Hari Lal, the corporation�s former director of veterinary services and currently its consultant. �As final products, it will be converted into protein supplements and used in animal feeds in poultry and fish industries.� The blood processing plant, which is almost ready, will have a capacity of 20,000 litres of blood per batch. The plant, set up by slaughterhouse operator Messrs Allana, is undergoing trial runs. Two large underground water tanks are also being constructed to store the effluent water. �Around 2,000KLD effluent from the complex is treated. While the treated water can be used in irrigation and washing, the rest will be stored in the tanks,� Dr Lal said. [h=2]The corporation has also finalised plans to build a biomethanation plant to process the undigested food that comes out of the stomach of buffaloes, sheep and goats. Spread over 0.9 acres, the plant will cost over Rs 10.15 crore. Tenders have already been awarded .[/h] �We will use this to produce biomethane gas that will be filtered and converted into green energy,� Dr Lal said. �Its maximum capacity will be 70 metric tonnes but we have estimated that even at the current rate, we will get an assured supply of 35 metric tonnes.� Around 50-60 tonnes of undigested food is daily dumped in the landfill site.
