Acknowledge the problem to solve a problem
So, the bright minds gathered together in D to solve the air pollution problem.
Many average and boring solutions were presented by average researchers and experts in the field like improve the public transport system, tree cover, and blah, blah, blah.
But then some brilliant minds presented two of the best solutions to solve the crisis once and for all:
Sprinkle water near the pollution monitoring centres
Turn off the detection sensors for few hours so that the average is low
The AQI reported is not even in three digits.
It’s in four digits (for the time being).
The AQI measured at 4 am was 751. That’s when the streets are dead and empty. You can imagine the AQI at peak hours.
It’s like smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Irreversible damage to children’s lungs.
