Study by United Residents’ Joint Action shows people uninformed; RTI query by association reveals most agencies unaware of their duties in fight against pollution

New Delhi:
As many as 89% of Delhiites are unaware of pollution-monitoring devices in their neighbourhood and 93% do not understand the Air Quality Index (AQI) and cannot gauge from it whether the day’s air was ‘good,’ ‘severe’ or ‘very poor’, revealed a survey by United Residents’ Joint Action (URJA), an association of residents’ welfare associations.

The survey report was released on January 9. A total of 509 participants — 200 of whom were women — from 10 locations in Delhi were surveyed.

All the participants reportedly lived within 5 km of a monitoring station set up by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). The ten locations were: Rohini, Anand Vihar, ITO, Siri Fort, Bawana, R.K. Puram, Patparganj, Lodhi Road, Dwarka and Ashok Vihar.
