Air Pollution and Air Quality Index

 

Air pollution has become a serious environmental health hazard in all over the world. Public awareness about the harmful effects of air pollution is the need of the hour. Today the air we inhale is polluted. Consequently, our future generations will suffer severe health hazards.

Keeping this in mind, St. Mary’s School, Dwarka focussed on the air quality index in and around the capital city. Brainstorming session was conducted for the students of Class X, in the month of May to sensitize them about global health concerns. Students took keen interest in the discussion and understood the harmful effects of pollutants on our environment. Students came up with various eco-friendly alternatives to tackle the problem of air pollution.

To take the awareness drive forward, students of Class X were given an investigatory project as summer holiday homework on “Air Pollution and Air Quality Index” where students had to collect the information on Air Quality Index (AQI) of Delhi - NCR region in the month of May in last five years. Students prepared a project report showing the graphical representation of the information collected on AQI. Their project report included the causes and effects of air pollution. They researched about various policies undertaken by state and central government to improve the quality of air in Delhi. Proactive work done by individuals and various NGOs were also mentioned.

To keep the momentum going, detailed analysis of the investigatory report was done in the first week of July in the class. The stats showing the deteriorating air quality was an alarming sign for many students. Ways to prevent, control and reduce air pollution by using alternative energies and adopting lifestyle changes were the highlight of the discussion.
