Environmental Pollution of Indian States:Gas Emissions and Respiratory Problems
Subscribe/Renew Journal
To sustain healthy and energetic lives of mankind clean environment and pure air are required. But with globalization, industrialization and urbanization the concept of healthy ecosystem has been demolished. Poisonous and toxic agents are mixing in the air and chemical reaction happening in the atmosphere. Twelve Indian states are studied in this paper. It explores the trends and pattern of air pollutants. Multi-linear analysis has been done to explore the association among different gases and the respiratory problems. In Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh the number of factories has not significantly increased and also N02 and So2 are emitted less than other states. Industrially developed states have faced respiratory health problems with increasing gas emission.
