सफ़र-एयर की विशेषताएं

•        सफ़र-एयर वर्तमान में हवा के प्रदूषण स्तर की सूचना उपलब्ध कराने वाली भारत में पहली मोबाइल एप्प सेवा है.

•        सफ़र-एयर एप्प को पुणे स्थित इंडियन इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ ट्रॉपिकल मिट्रिओलॉजी (आईआईटीएम) के वैज्ञानिकों ने विकसित किया.

•        यह एप्लिकेशन नागरिकों को उनके शहर के हवा के प्रदूषण स्तर की सूचना रीयलटाइम में उपलब्ध कराने में सक्षम होगी.

•        यह एप्लिकेशन उपयोगकर्ता के वर्तमान स्थान पर एक रंग कोडित प्रणाली के माध्यम से वर्तमान डेटा और हवा की गुणवत्ता की पूर्वानुमान सूचना प्रदान करेगी. हरा रंग वायु प्रदूषण के न्यूतम स्तर का, पीला रंग सूक्ष्म प्रदूषण

और लाल खतरनाक स्तर का सूचक है.

•        एप्लिकेशन को शुरू में गूगल के एंड्रॉयड ऑपरेटिंग सिस्टम के स्मार्टफोन्स पर और बाद में एप्पल के आईओएस स्मार्टफोन्स पर उपलब्ध होगा.

•        उपयोगकर्ता एप्प की जानकारी ट्विटर, फेसबुक और ईमेल के माध्यम से साझा भी कर सकते हैं.

भारत में हवा के प्रदूषण का स्तर

भारत के मेट्रो शहरों में हवा के प्रदूषण का स्तर विशेषत: दिल्ली में बहुत तेजी से बिगड़ रह है. विश्व स्वास्थ्य संगठन (डब्ल्यूएचओ) के अनुसार भारत में 1.9 करोड़ लोग वायु प्रदूषण के कारण प्रति वर्ष मृत्यु के शिकार हो जाते हैं.

मई 2014 में डब्ल्यूएचओ द्वारा और फरवरी 2014 में येल विश्वविद्यालय द्वारा प्रकाशित एक अध्ययन के अनुसार नई दिल्ली में वायु प्रदूषण का स्तर भारत और दुनिया में सबसे अधिक है.

वर्ष 2010 के बाद से नई दिल्ली की हवा में नवंबर 2014 और जनवरी 2015 के बीच 2.5 माइक्रोमीटर व्यास से कम आकार के पार्टिकुलेट मैटर्स सबसे ज्यादा थे.

पार्टिकुलेट मैटर्स क्या हैं?

पार्टिकुलेट मैटर्स में सल्फेट्स, नाइट्रेट, अमोनिया, सोडियम क्लोराइड, कार्बन ब्लैक, खनिज धूल और जल शामिल है. इन सभी को सबसे खतरनाक वायु प्रदूषक माना जाता है. वायु प्रदूषण से सांस संबंधी बीमारियां होती हैं. इनमें अस्थमा

और फेफड़े से संबंधी बीमारी भी शामिल है. वायु प्रदूषण फेफड़ों के कैंसर का कारक भी हो सकता है.

डब्ल्यूएचओ के मुताबिक 10 माइक्रोन या उससे कम व्यास के कण स्वास्थ्य को ज्यादा नुकसान पहुँचाते हैं. यह कण फेफड़ों को ज्यादा प्रभावित करते हैं.

FRAMED FROM THE HINDU -JULY 2018

Q.349 Recently environment minister inaugurates advanced system of air quality  “SAFAR”. With reference to this project consider the following statements :

1. It will monitor all the weather parameters like temperature, wind speed & wind direction 

2. This system will also monitor existence of Benzene, Methane & Toluene

Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

A) Only  1

B) Only 2

C) Both are correct

D) Both are incorrect

Ans. A

Science& Technology, Earth Sciences; Environment, Forest & Climate Change Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan unveiled a state-of-the-art Air Quality and Weather Forecast System– SAFAR (System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting)at ChandniChowkin Delhi today.

The giant true colour LED display gives out real-time air quality index on 24x7 basis with colour coding alongwith 72-hour advance forecast.

The system, first of its kind in the country, was developed indigenously in record time by Indian Institute of Tropical  Meteorology, Pune and operationalized by India Meteorological Department (IMD).

The minister said based on the Air Quality Index on a particular day, Health advisory and related precaution will be notified to prepare citizens well in advance. Dr. Harsh Vardhan, further added that in addition to monitoring and forecasting of regular air quality and weather parameters, the ChandniChowk air quality station will also measure sun’s UV-Index and will provide measurement of online automatic ultrafine particles PM1 and Mercury, both of which have direct relevance to human health. Based on UVI, skin advisories will be issued on display.

“Our mission model project SAFAR is implemented in four cities of India – Delhi, Pune, Mumbai and Ahmedabad as an operational service. Accordingto a preliminary economic assessment of the benefits of the system, if 5% of people suffering from air-pollution related diseases take advantage of the advisories and precautionsin Delhi alone, it would result in a saving of nearly Rs. 2,500 crores in terms of health-related cost benefit,” said Dr Harsh Vardhan, addressing a large gathering at Town Hall in ChandniChowk.

The system will be an integral part of India’s first Air Quality Early Warning System operational in Delhi and will

strengthen the existing air quality network of SAFAR, Central Pollution Control Board and Delhi Pollution Control Committee.

SAFAR will accelerate public awareness and preparedness of air pollution and weather extremes. It will also lead to better understanding of linkages among emissions, weather, pollution and climate. It will monitor all weather parameters like temperature, rainfall, humidity, wind speed and wind direction.

In addition to regular air quality parameters like PM2.5, PM10, Sulfur Dioxide, Ozone, Nitrogen Oxides, Carbon Monoxide,

the system will also monitor the existence of Benzene, Toluene and Xylene.

Besides health, SAFAR system would benefit cost savings to several other sectors like agriculture, aviation,

infrastructure, disaster management skill, tourism and many others, which directly or indirectly get affected by air quality and weather.
