About NCAP
Details about NCAP
Non-attainment cities: They are those that have consistently failed to meet National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for over five years. NAAQS Standards: NAAQS are the established standards for ambient air quality concerning various pollutants notified by the CPCB under the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. These include PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, CO, NH3, Ozone, Lead, Benzene, Benzo-Pyrene, Arsenic, and Nickel. |
Conclusion:
India, as charted by NCAP, will be difficult but is necessary. NCAP's success hinges on a multifaceted approach that combines rigorous scientific studies, strategic funds, and swift and effective implementation of mitigation measures.
