In the interim budget announced by the Government of India in February 2024, there was a commitment towards decarbonisation with a slew of provisions for electrification and public transport- https://bit.ly/4co6hhz Should the same commitment continue and be strengthened? Vinay Jaju, Co-founder of SwitchON Foundation (Environment Conservation Society), wishes to have car-free clean-air zones for our cities and make our cities future-ready. Do you think the 2024 transport budgets should also focus on mitigating pollution while fulfilling the needs of moving people?

DRR-Air Pollution Mitigation and Management-08: • For the first time pollution was shown as the cause of death in Death Certificate for Ms. Ila, a 9 year old kid in Britain. • Similar deaths are taking place in India. • We all need to combine our hands with the same objective to achieve healthy environment because that is our human right to live in a clean environment and we as an individual need to contribute significantly for the society. • We all together need to realize our responsibility towards society and our environment. • NGOs should work towards covering the gaps of government efforts. • Carrying capacity of environment should be taken care of. • We have to be vigilant, rise to the occasion and work before it is too late. #drr #airpollution

Air pollution poses serious threats to our constitutionally guaranteed rights. Article 30 of the Constitution of Nepal has the provisions of the Right to Clean Environment. "However, it is being violated due to poor implementation of the policies and plans."Article 30(1) stipulates, "Every citizen shall have the right to live in a clean and healthy environment." Similarly, Article 30(2) reads, "The victim shall have the right to obtain compensation, in accordance with law, for any damage caused by environmental pollution or degradation." #air #pollution #health #nepal #fundamentalrights

Air Pollution and Key Pollutants....... #Airpollution in the #UK poses a #significant threat to #publichealth, resulting in thousands of deaths annually. #Exposure to #pollutants like Particulate Matter (PM), especially #PM10 and #PM2.5, can have detrimental effects on both short-term and long-term health. #NitrogenDioxide (NO2), primarily emitted from #fossilfuel #combustion in vehicles and #industrial processes, is another major concern due to its adverse impact on #respiratory health and the environment. #NO2 #exacerbates conditions such as #asthma and #bronchitis while contributing to ground-level ozone and particulate matter formation, further endangering ecosystems and wildlife. Key pollutants like PM, NO2, and #O3 particularly endanger vulnerable groups residing near busy roads. Addressing localized risks, enhancing #communication and awareness efforts, leveraging technological advancements for emission reductions, and #fostering #international collaboration are critical steps in tackling this #globalchallenge. Recent UK #policies aim to reduce PM2.5 and NO2 levels, yet #challenges persist due to atmospheric complexities. Therefore, if you need more assistance contact us on 07774803184 or write to FreshBreezeltd Environmental Ltd on info@freshbreezeeltd.co.uk. #airquality #airqualitymatters #airqualitymonitoring #dust #dustcontrol #odour #odor #planningpermission #planning #planningapplication #development #developer #propertydevelopment #property #health #healthandsafety #dispersion

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙣! 🔬 According to recent monitoring by Brussels Environment, the #Brussels Low Emission Zone (#LEZ) has contributed to cleaner air along the city's main roads 🏙️ 𝘐𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳, the agency's research shows that level of toxic pollutants like nitrogen oxide, particulate matter, and black carbon have dropped by between 30% and 60%! 📉 ⏰ These improvements could 𝗻𝗼𝘁 come soon enough - across Europe's major cities, #AirPollution continues to cause excessive public healthcare costs and high rates of premature death. In 2020, this number surged above 5000 in Belgium alone. Want to find out more about Brussels' LEZ and its role in improving urban #AirQuality?
