Maharashtra Air Pollution

The AQI in Mumbai has improved but continues to be moderate and not satisfactory, the Bombay High Court said on Monday, while asking the Maharashtra government to come up with a comprehensive plan to find a final solution to the issue.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Tuesday morning visited parts of Mumbai to review steps taken to control dust and air pollution and said the city civic body has been directed to do cloud seeding if required.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is chairing a review meeting on prevailing pollution in Maharashtra amid rising concerns over the air quality in the state.

A central government team will soon visit Mumbai to assess the city's air quality and the Maharashtra government's efforts to improve it, sources have said.

Aerosol pollution in Maharashtra is likely to move to 'highly vulnerable' red zone from the current 'vulnerable' orange zone in 2023.

India's air pollution levels have expanded geographically over time and increased so much in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh that an average person is now losing an additional 2.5 to 2.9 years of life expectancy, according to a new report.

In a huge step towards cutting air pollution, the entire BEST fleet (Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport) plying in Mumbai will switch to electric buses that don't have emissions and are considered green technology.

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has held four companies, including government-owned oil majors BPCL and HPCL, responsible for creating "gas chamber-like condition" in Mumbai's Mahul, Ambapada and Chembur areas and directed them to pay Rs 286.2 crore for the damaged caused to the environment.

Mumbai ranks as the fourth most polluted mega city in the world, according to a recent World Health Organisation or WHO report, released on May 2. Maharashtra government officials however, have downplayed criticism of the city's handling of its pollution problem, saying that Mumbai's air quality was "moderate".

Maharashtra Environment Minister Ramdas Kadam on Thursday blamed the rise in number of vehicles on roads for increasing air pollution in Mumbai.

A new report today warned against vehicular pollution in the country, saying if the trend continues it will cause alarming rise of deadly Particulate Matter (PM), which is believed to pose the greatest health risk in the air.
