High Lead Content in Air in Mangaluru, Says Study

According to an independent study of air quality in Mangaluru, the air in the city is high in lead content and bears borderline indications of approaching danger on other parameters. The study was conducted by APD Foundation under its 'Shuddha Gaali' project in association with St George’s Homeopathy. Six outdoor air pollutants were measured in the drive. They are particulate matter (PM); PM10 (inhalable particles, with diametres that are generally 10 micrometres and smaller) and PM2.5 (fine inhalable particles, with diameters that are generally 2.5 micrometres and smaller). Of the six parameters measured, PM2.5, PM10 and lead have been observed to exceed the permissible limits in a few locations. PM2.5 and PM10 were found to be high in three of the 12 locations (Bunts Hostel, Pumpwell, and Baikampady), and PM2.5 alone in six of the 12 junctions (PVS Junction, Bunts Hostel, Bunder, MCC, Pumpwell, and Baikampady).
