BMC to buy 4 ambient air quality survey vans to tackle pollution in Mumbai

Mumbai's civic body will procure four 'Automated Ambient Air Quality Survey Mobile Vans' amid complaints from people about rising pollution, an official said on Thursday.

In a release, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation said the procurement process had started for these vans.

''These mobile vans will be used to conduct air quality surveys at various traffic islands, dumping grounds and landfill sites. They will also address air pollution complaints of the citizens,'' it said.

After these mobile vans are deployed, air quality survey data will be available in laboratories through servers, the release added.
