For cleaner air, Maharashtra govt to launch a plan soon: MPCB

The state government will launch an air quality improvement plan within a month, said a senior official of the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB). The source apportionment studies for the plan have already been jointly undertaken in 10 cities by the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Powai. “Maharashtra has the largest network of air quality monitoring stations. There are 78 stations and another 16 will be added soon,” Dr P Anbalagan, member-secretary of MPCB, told The Indian Express.
