[ Environment Protection: Join Green Group of Delhi ]
While Delhi Government and Indian Government are not taking any steps to control pollution in the city, the air in Delhi has an annual average of 122 µg/m3 of PM2.5* particles. That’s 12.2 times of the WHO safe level. This is an extremely dangerous pollution level.
[ *PM 2.5 concentrations measured in micrograms of particles per cubic meter of air (µg/m3). ]
Meanwhile, the local citizens have formed a Green Group of Delhi to inform public and the government about the harmful effects of pollution.
The major activities of the Green Group of Delhi are around environment protection to save the environment from air pollution, dust pollution, noise pollution, water pollution, etc. in order to minimize the effect of pollution on Climate Change.
