Environmental issues in Pune

Pune is known as 'The Cultural and Educational capital of Maharashtra' yet it is highly polluted .... does education really helps for sustainable development think of it.....

.Punekar needs oxygen to breath not pollutants wake up punekar its you who are polluting pune

most simple steps to minimize air pollution due to vehicles 1. service your vehicle regularly and 2. as far as possible do car pooling or use public transport.

most polluted city resulting in increasing incidences of respiratory disease example H1N1. Prime source of SPM (Suspended Particulate Matter) is vehicles, industries, and construction sites in city. The SPM level was more during July and August 2009 as compared to the other months. The H1N1 epidemic was also at its peak during the same period. HINI attack the person immediately who is suffering from respiratory disease.In fact, Pune's recorded RSPM (Respiratory Suspended Particulate Matter) is 1.5 times more than the national standards.

According to the Water Supply and Sewerage departments of PMC, only 55% of the total generated sewerage in the city is treated. The remaining 45% is released into the river untreated.

Thus waste of pune flows to Bhama river ....polluting water of other cities
