ACCEPTABLE CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS

As with various other gases, the atmospheric concentration of C O  is measured in parts per million
( abbreviated as ppm ) and that's one important fact that has to be taken into consideration when determinig what is the safe limit !
For an adult, CARBON MONOXIDE exposure beyond 135 ppm  continuously for a period of  8 hours can turn out to be toxic and symptoms of poisoning can become obvious in the form of headache and fatigue.
Sources of C O exist in plenty, and quite a few of these..Cooking stoves ,Chimneys,Smoking and at the same time when you breathe polluted  air coming from vehicular exhaust in a relatively high concentration.
After accumulating in the blood stream, C O combines with the red blood cells and brakes the OXYGEN carrying capacity and drops the hemoglobin percentage .... silently breaking down our entire nervous system which may eventually death of the individual.
HAZARDOUS EFFECTS OF POISONING RANGE FROM MILD HEADACHE TO DEATH.... DEPENDINGON THE SEVERITY OF POISONING.
CO IS A SILENT  KILLER.....BEWARE

SMOG AND GROUN LAYER OZONE

IN WINTER AT KOLKATA, SMOG FORMATION IN THE MORNING AND EVENING  IS NORMAL DUE TO NOx .PM and HC EMISSION FROM HIGHLY POPULATE OLD DIESEL VEHICLE AT KMA.
MY HIGH ALERT MESSAGE TO THE SENIOR CITIZENS & CHILDREN

NOT TO GO OUT -ON THE ROAD,WHEN SUN THROWS LIGHT ON HC/NOx  MIXTURE FOR GROUND LAYER OZONE CREATION AT EARLY MORNING.
IT'S VERY BAD FOR RESPIRATORY TRACK.

SILENT KILLER IN CITY OF JOY

60% AIR POLLUTION IN KOLKATA MEGA CITY IS CAUSED BY AUTOMOBILES ONLY.

 WHAT WILL BE THE ACTION PLAN FOR " CITY OF JOY " ! 

1. Old commercial vehicle beyond the age bar 15 years to be banned as per Honorable SUPREME COURT     and HIGH COURT ORDER. The old vehicle to be discarded and replaced against the new one.
2. For new vehicle registration, BHARAT STAGE -IV NORMS to be followed w.e.f 1st April 2010. But not yet done for commercial vehicles in KMA.
3.For IN-USE/SERVICE/ON ROAD VEHICLES,"INSPECTION  AND MAINTENANCE "to be followed and all AUTO EMISSION TESTING CENTERS ( A E T C ) should be converted to  I & M center.
4.Driving cycle and Driving condition should be suitable for meeting the vehicular  average speed range
40 KMPH to 50 KMPH on the city roads for petrol & diesel vehicle to achieve  almost COMPLETE COMBUSTION of fuel.
5.Vehicular density Viz-a - Viz availability of  motor-able road space should be matched.
6.Frequent Gear,Clutch & Brake operation causes UNBURNT  / PARTLY BURNT FUEL SMOKE EMISSION- resulting less mileage. Manufacturer's Recommendation on KMPL ratio is not valid in city road congestion INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IS NEEDED.
7.On vehicular Noise , proper monitoring is needed to control  EXCESSIVE EXHAUST. SOUND AND HIGH PITCH HONKING.
8.Over Loading of commercial vehicle should be stopped to control NOISE & AIR pollution levels.
9.Concrete Road is to be developed instead of Asphalt- Bitumen Pitch Road.to reduce ROAD - TYRES friction.
10.Both CLEAN  and CLEAN-UP technologies to be adopted for EMISSION CONTROL jobs.
11.Instead of fossil fuel, ALTERNATIVE ENERGY to be implemented for almost ZERO EMISSION.
12. CNG  /BIO DIESEL based MAS TRANSPORT SYSTEM ,metro rail,pool car services to be implemented and use of individual cars with one or two passengers to be discouraged on the ground of CARBON FOOT PRINTS.
13.IDENTIFY THE KILLER VEHICLE... THE MAIN CULPRIT FOR DAMAGING THE CITIZEN'S LUNG,HEART,KIDNEY AND BREAKING DOWN OUR BODY'S TOTAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
14.POISONOUS POLLUTANTS ARE CO(carbon mono-oxide),HC (hydro carbon ),
NOx (nitrogen oxides), SO2(sulpher di oxide ),BENZYNE,AEROSOL etc-------- causing unwanted health hazard and killing us silently.    SO, ROLE OF A E T C IS VERY VITAL.

POLLUTERS ARE PAYING THE PENALTY AND A E T C s ARE PURCHASING THE EMISSION WITH EXTRA MONEY... WHO CARES FOR BETTER AMBIENT AIR  ? ?

WORLD'S DIRTIEST HOLY RIVER ------- THE TOXIC GANGA

2510 KM LONG COURSE FROM GOMUKH TO BAY OF BENGAL ,COVERING 5 STATES IN INDIA, FLOWING FROM NORTH TO EAST - 

WHERE ONE THIRD OF INDIANS (1.2 BILLION)LIVE ALONG THE  RIVERBANKS AND 

APPROX 1 BILLION LITRES OF UNTREATED SEWAGE,INDUSTRIAL WASTE &AGRICULTURAL RUN OFF CHEMICAL CONTAMINATED WATERGET DISPOSED INTO THE HOLY RIVER.

THE RIVER WATER IS NOT AT ALL SUITABLE FOR BATHING OR CLEANING OF CLOTHES.

COLI FORM BACTERIA LEVEL IS 10000 TIMES HIGHER THAN THE SAFE STANDARD AND DISSOLVE OXYGEN/BIO OXYGEN DEMAND IS VERY VERY POOR.OILY,GREASY , METALIC  PARTICLES & CHEMICAL CONTAMINATION IN  GANGA WATER IS ALSO HIGH AT ABNORMAL LEVEL.

EVERY DROP OF WATER IS HIGHLY TOXIC.(POISONOUS )

INDIAN OFFICIALS SIGNED AN AGREEMENT  WITH THE WORLD BANK TO USE $1BILLION LOAN TO FINANCE THE FIRST MAJOR NEW EFFORTS TO CLEAN THE RIVER GANGA.

IF THE DIRTIEST RIVER( KNOWN AS HOLY  GANGA ) GANGES IS DRIED UP  WITHIN 15 YEARS....... WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN OUR COUNTRY ON SOCIO- ECONOMIC & HEALTH FRONT MATTER ?

GO GREEN TO SAVE GANGA -------- MAKE TOXIC FREE ON NATIONAL INTEREST.

LOW SPEED OF VEHICLE IN THE CITY OF JOY

AT KOLKATA,THE VEHICLES ARE MOVING IN A VERY SLOW RANGE 20KMPH TO 25KMPH DURING 9AM TO 9PM EXCEPT SUNDAY.
 MOTOR-ABLE ROAD SPACE IS NOT EVEN 6% NOW ...AGAINST THE TOTAL GEOGRAPHICAL AREA IN KMA. THE .VEHICULAR DENSITY IS NOT MATCHING WITH THE AVAILABLE ROAD SPACE..
AS A RESULT COMPLETE COMBUSTION OF FUEL IS NOT TAKING PLACE IN THE I.C ENGINES AND POLLUTION LEVEL IN THE AMBIENT AIR IS INCREASING DRASTICALLY.
DUE TO POOR QUALITY OF AIR- FUEL RATIO THE EMISSION FROM VEHICULAR EXHAUST
IS BEYOND THE PERMISSIBLE LIMITS.
MOST OF THE COMMERCIAL VEHICLES (OLDER THAN 15 YEARS ) ARE NOT MEETING THE EMISSION STANDARD BUT MANAGING THE POLLUTION UNDER CONTROL CERTIFICATE (PUC) IN ILLEGAL WAY.... WHO CARES !
OTHERSIDE ,REGULARLY 500 REGISTRATIONS OF NEW VEHICLE IN KMA ARE GOING ON.......

MOBILE TOWERS IN INDIA

11/11/11,KOLKATA
AFTER CHINA,   THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MOB TOWERS IN INDIA IS THE SECOND HIGHEST .
125 CRORE POPULATED INDIA IS NOW UNDER MOBILE CELL PHONE POLLUTION SCAN...
MAY FACE DANGEROUS SITUATION IN NEAR FUTURE  DUE TO  UNWANTED RADIATION OF RAYS FROM THE MOBILE.
WHO CARE FOR BRAIN CANCER ?
