A lot of people have left and are fleeing Delhi as well as the other states of smog in India because their wives were pregnant or they feared for their health or that of their children and people flooded into hospitals with nasty coughs and breathing problems and, according to a new Unicef report. Itmight be permanently damaging children’s brains.
These are some of the major changes that have come into effect:
-The Badarpur power plant, located in south Delhi, will be closed until March 2018 before permanently shutting down in July 2018. According to a 2015 study by the Centre for Science and Environment, it is the most polluting power plant in India. The plant contributed just 8% of the city's electric power but produced more than 80% of Delhi's particulate matter pollution from the energy sector. It was shut down temporarily last November to alleviate air quality during the Delhi smog but was reopened in March this year.
- Restrictions on vehicles : Vehicular emission is one of the main reasons for air pollution in Delhi. The panel has said that It may also bring back a car rationing scheme which will see cars with even and odd number plates only being allowed on alternate days. The panel has said it will also look at increasing the frequency of the city's metro trains and buses.
-A ban on private generators : Diesel generators are often utilised by private homeowners and businesses in an effort to combat Delhi's often erratic power supply. Many of them are, however, poorly maintained which causes them to emit large amounts of smoke and fumes.
However, environmentalists accuse PM Narendra Modi him of not taking the necessary measures and favoring business instead.
Brouillard mortel
De nombreuses personnes ont envahi les hôpitaux avec une forte toux et des problèmes respiratoires. Selon l’Unicef cela pourrait causer des problèmes sur le développement des cerveaux des nouveaux nés et certains s’exilent craignant pour la santé de leur famille.
Les principales mesures prisent pour restreindre la pollution de l’air:
-La restriction de la circulation des voitures : Comme la mise en place d’une circulation alternée entre les plaques d’immatriculations paire et impaires ainsi que l’augmentation du passage des bus et des trains pour éviter que les gens utilisent leur voiture dont l’émission est l’une des principales raisonsde la pollution de l’air.
-La fermeture d’une importante centrale électrique : la centrale de Badarpur qui est l’une des plus polluantes de l’Inde selon le Center for Science and Environment, elle produit seulement 8% de l’électricité de la ville contre 80% de la pollution à Delhi et va fermer provisoirement ses portes jusqu’en mars 2018, puis définitivement en juillet 2018.
-Interdiction d’utiliser un générateur privé : les générateurs diesels souvent utilisés en remplacement lorsqu’il y a des pannes d’électricité par des particuliers et des entreprises. Ils seront interdits car souvent mal entretenuset émettent de grandes quantités de fumée et de vapeurs toxiques.
