An analytical and environmental engineering mobile laboratory was flagged off from near the residence of State Civil and Food Supplies Minister Saryu Roy on Tuesday. Under the initiative, residents of city and its outskirts will get to know the levels of pollution in rivers and air for the first time from an independent source.
A voluntary outfit, Yugantar Bharti, working for environment prevention, will be releasing reports of pollutions level at Subernarekha and Kharkai River and also ambient air quality in residential areas not only in public domain but also hand over reports copies to the administration.
The van would be having trained personnel with equipment and measure pollution level in water on the
basis of following parameters like total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness, nitrate, sulphate, fluoride, and chloride.
