| With
the recent directives of the Hon’ble Supreme Court regarding compliance of emission
norms for sale of new cars in the National Capital Region, the various aspects
of vehicular pollution have been brought to limelight. These include engine technologies,
fuel quality, public transport, inspection and certification system for on-road
vehicles and traffic management. In an earlier issue of Parivesh (December, 1997),
we discussed these aspects in some detail. Based on findings of our air quality
monitoring data, we had drawn the attention of concerned authorities and public
at large for creation of awareness and for decisions on measures required for
curbing the menace of auto emissions. |
