CSE analyses CPCB's recent six-city study on air pollution sources

This is a critical analysis by CSE of the new six-city study on air pollution sources released by Central Pollution Control Board. Says that auto industry is misusing the study to derail tighter emissions standards and encourage polluting diesel cars.

 

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has pressed the alarm bells over the auto industry’s efforts to use a questionable study to deflect policy attention from vehicles, especially diesel cars. Titled ‘Air quality monitoring, emission inventory and source apportionment study for Indian cities’, this study has been released recently by the MoEF.
