Toxicity in Girinagar ,Delhi

During Deepawali ,the toxic air of Delhi has been problem to all. In Delhi, an "emergency" level is anything above 300. In 2014, 2015 and 2016, the average daily level of PM 2.5 was 132. It is also reported that in 2015  around 1.1 million people died due to air pollution in Indian States only.So,the different initiation regarding air pollution keep on raising the same questions about Toxicity in Delhi .As a part of Delhi ,toxicity in Girinagar has been a great issue,the parks in Girinagar area has been the main spots of garbage.Garbage also causes both air and water pollution, and simply transporting it to the sites consumes an increasing amount of valuable fossil fuels, which produces more pollution and other problems. Buried in a landfill, the typical plastic trash bag takes 1,000 years to degrade, giving off toxins as it does.Even the Gurudwara corner has the dumping drums where vehicles come to collect garbage but the area has the bad smell  and cows are seen eating there.The toxic gas aroused from garbage affect a lot who live nearby.

The pollution in Yamuna river and Hindon Canal with foam on the surface of the water and different dumping sites are the other areas which are burning issue in Delhi.Nobody knows how ten thousand ton of garbage has been dumped in these areas which has been causing letache in water level of riverside and toxic gases in air has caused a lot to harm to public health.We can see letache in Girinagar too .The management of wastes in the area has the problems in Girinagar where one can see the garbage spread on the road and animals eating them.

Mountains of waste are dumped in open spaces where children can often be seen picking through the sometimes toxic material.Every day Delhi produces around 10,000 metric tonnes of solid waste. Dozens of children, some as young as five, work alongside adults or in small groups with other children in northwest Delhi's Bhalswa - one of three landfill sites in the city.

It was hard to tell at the messy road junction in front of the historic Red Fort and the shopping street of Chandni Chowk, though, which was still crammed with auto-rickshaws and buses barrelling along the roads with seemingly little regard for any traffic rules.But Delhi’s so-called “car-free day” experiment was nevertheless a success: scientists monitoring the air here, routinely one of Delhi’s most polluted areas, found a dramatic 60% drop in the amount of dangerous pollutants – the tiniest particles that come out of traffic exhausts and which can exacerbate health problems such as asthma, heart disease and stroke – compared to the previous day.

Delhi’s bad air is already causing a spike in the people with asthma and reduced lung function.
. Even then, the corridors were overrun with wheezing patients and a room that had a line of oxygen masks for patients to take respite breaths as they waited, had queues snaking out of the door.The air is already having long-term effects on children in the Indian capital, 4.4 million of whom already have irreversible lung damage.
   
The damage goes beyond that – reaching even further back in people’s lives. There is already evidence of a spectrum of health problems, ranging from allergies and respiratory conditions, malformations, growth restrictions and even an increasing incidence of cancers, all of which could be related to increased pollution. Most of those new vehicles burn diesel and face relatively low emissions standards, belching out clouds of the tiny PM2.5 particles that can be most harmful to health.In addition to vehicles, there are an increasing number of diesel-burning electrical generators attached to the swanky apartment blocks springing up across the capital. Farms and coal-burning factories around the region further worsen the air.
The pollution has a double-whammy effect. Health problems are happening now but the vehicle and factory exhausts also contain greenhouse gases such as nitrous oxides, ozone and carbon dioxide. These will linger in the atmosphere for many decades and contribute to future climate change. India’s cities are facing the problems right now but the pollution (and its problems) is a stark indication of what many more developing nations will face in future.

Toxicity is the burning issue in India, in Delhi the impact is seen in air and water most but Girinagar ,a part of Delhi does not remain untouched.It has lots of problems raised by garbages on the roadside,parks and religious sites.Public suffer a lot while walking those areas and kids get in contact to these poisonous thing while playing there which is really harmful to their health .So ,toxicity is concern of Girinagar Delhi where a step for cleanliness is essential now.
