This can cause severe health problems such as asthma, cardiovascular diseases and even cancer and reduces the quality and number of years of life]]> 2021-02-09 04:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/minnarowther/jhmgnemb6bsr9pbb/wish/1180299362 minnarowther https://padlet.com/minnarowther/jhmgnemb6bsr9pbb/wish/1180301039 2) Exposure to high levels of air pollution can cause a variety of adverse health outcomes. It increases the risk of respiratory infections, heart disease and lung cancer. Both short and long term exposure to air pollutants have been associated with health impacts. More severe impacts affect people who are already ill.]]> 2021-02-09 04:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/minnarowther/jhmgnemb6bsr9pbb/wish/1180301039 minnarowther https://padlet.com/minnarowther/jhmgnemb6bsr9pbb/wish/1180303609 3)
Solar power: Installation of solar panels should be encouraged at homes, multi-storey buildings and commercial establishments so that decentralised power is generated with suitable subsidies to make it financially viable for all households. The cost of solar panels has come down considerably. This should help retire all coal-based thermal power plants which are adding a lot to Delhi’s air pollution problems and adversely effecting climate change. In fact, thermal power plants in Delhi-NCR should be stopped from functioning till the AQI level is under 200.
More CNG vehicles: Encourage use of CNG in motor vehicles as it is a much cleaner fuel than petrol or diesel by considerably reducing the road tax and sales tax on CNG filled cars as compared to petrol and diesel four wheelers. Since there are at least 1,400 cars added to Delhi roads every day, all the cars should be restricted to using CNG only as all new petrol cars can be converted to CNG. Also, new registrations should be discouraged by enhancing registration charges

As well as driving climate change, the main cause of CO2 emissions – the extraction and burning of fossil fuels – is also a major source of air pollutants. What’s more, many air pollutants contribute to climate change by affecting the amount of incoming sunlight that is reflected or absorbed by the atmosphere, with some pollutants warming and others cooling the Earth.]]> 2021-02-09 05:01:59 UTC https://padlet.com/minnarowther/jhmgnemb6bsr9pbb/wish/1180318528 minnarowther https://padlet.com/minnarowther/jhmgnemb6bsr9pbb/wish/1180325233 2021-02-09 05:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/minnarowther/jhmgnemb6bsr9pbb/wish/1180325233 minnarowther https://padlet.com/minnarowther/jhmgnemb6bsr9pbb/wish/1180326457 2021-02-09 05:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/minnarowther/jhmgnemb6bsr9pbb/wish/1180326457
