Cleaner construction is better pollution control
Many Indian cities have been grappling with polluted air. The higher levels of GRAP include stringent measures, including halting private and public construction in affected areas, given construction activities are a key source of particulate matter pollution across urban India. Many cities stipulate regulations for mitigating air pollution at construction sites but lack the necessary intent to address the sources of emissions. Dust-control tools: Shifting to mechanical tools equipped with built-in vacuum systems could effectively help in managing dust at construction sites. Worker training and dedicated pollution control staff: To foster a culture of environmental responsibility, site engineers, project managers, and labourers must be trained in clean construction practices.
