Complain about drop in air quality
Days after Bellandur lake caught fire, air quality in the area has dropped, say residents.
Members of Save Bellandur Lake have written to the National Green Tribunal-appointed committee seeking its intervention on the issue.
“You would have been made aware of the major fire at Bellandur, which raged on for 27 hours and then continues to simmer for the third day today (Saturday). Air Quality Monitor is showing a very unhealthy AQI of 257 for the area,” stated the letter.
The writer is a former member of the prime minister’s economic advisory council, and heads a macroeconomic consultancy based in Islamabad.
WHILE Pakistan’s carbon emissions are very low in comparison to the rest of the world, it is among the most polluted countries in terms of ambient (outdoor) air pollution and water contamination. According to rankings compiled by IQAir, Pakistan was the world’s second most polluted country in the world for both 2018 as well as 2019, behind Bangladesh, with air quality characterised as “unhealthy” as measured by levels of PM2.5 (fine particulate matter that have a diameter less than 2.5 micrometres).

Lagos, Jan. 25, 2021 U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, Mary Beth Leonard, has unveiled the U.S Consulate’s reference-grade Air Quality Monitor, effectively linking Nigeria to air quality index information and health messaging from the United States’ Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
A statement issued on Monday said the project was part of the U.S. mission’s ongoing contribution to environmental sustainability in Nigeria.
Leonard expressed optimism that the new equipment which highlighted the U.S’ commitment to environmental sustainability would enhance the Consulate’s capacity to provide reliable data on air quality, .
“Through a team effort, we have successfully procured air quality monitors for the Embassy in Abuja and Consulate in Lagos, through the Greening Diplomacy Initiative’s Department of State’s Air programme.
