Dear MEL Topic Readers,
New Delhi opens first ‘smog tower’; expert says ‘absolute waste’
According to the World Health Organization, 14 of the world’s 15 most polluted cities are in India. A study attributed 1.67 million deaths in 2019 to air pollution. One, and the best way to clean the air is to reduce the sources of the smog, such as vehicle exhaust, heavy and small-scale industry, construction activity, the combustion of waste and fuel and, the burning of crops in winter. Another way, though neither ideal nor efficient, is to clean the dirty air with machines. New Delhi, the capital of the country and one of the most badly polluted cities, decided to try the latter solution. They recently built a 25-meter-high smog tower that is designed to halve the number of harmful particulates within one square kilometer radius. The city’s Chief Minister said if they find it effective to clean the air, they would build more across Delhi while critics say it is an absolute waste of taxpayers’ money. Does the smog tower itself produce more smog to run?
