Findings of the study compiled and released as a book
New research that assessed stack emissions of polluting industries in Puducherry has noted that pollutant levels were in excess of permissible limits downwind of the major industrial estates in the capital of the Union Territory.
The findings, which have been brought out in a 235-page book, evaluated air quality downwind of the seven major industrial estates and found that pollutant levels were exceeding the permissible limits prescribed for “sensitive areas” such as schools and hospitals.
