Guidelines
for Development of Greenbelts
|
|
Foreword
Green belts
can help in reducing the impact of fugitive emissions and pollutants
released at ground levels. A model to optimise the dimensions of
green belt is presented in this report.
Apart from morphological features that contribute to efficien/cy
of plant response towards pollutants in air, their location with
reference to source and dispersion of pollutants is also of significance.
About 200 species of perennial plants, trees and shrubs, are described
in the report. Recommendations about selection of plants to form
green belts in different parts of the country are also presented
in the report.
This report is the outcome of the team effort of Prof. S.8. Chafekar,Univ.
of Pune; Sh. R. K. Kapoor, Nuclear Power Corporation, Mumbai; Sh.
V.K. Gupta,

Paliwal, Scientist '8', Dr. B. Sengupta, Member Secretary, CPC8 Co-ordinated
the study. Shri Mahendra Kumar Gupta, oEo typed the manuscript.
We hope, the guidelines will be usefull for industries, regulatory
agencies and others interested in developing the greenbelts for pollution
abatement and grenbelt improvements.
