- | Monday | 10th September, 2018
However, the change in concentration is within the limits prescribed under the ambient air quality standards. The concentration of CO which was not more than 0.12 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) in January has gradually increased to 1.52 mg/m3 on Saturday. The increasing movement of road traffic at the Secretariat, the seat of the State government in Velagapudi, is resulting in the increase of the concentration of certain air pollutants of late. As per the air quality standards, CO concentration is considered normal if it is less than 2 milligrams per cubic meter per every eight hours and less than 4 milligrams every hour. However, the State government has improved greenery and taken other measures to reduce pollution at the Secretariat complex located in the midst of a vast open area.
