Come October, each day you will know how pollut- ed the air you breathe will be the following day. Following the pattern of weather forecasts, the Indian Institute of Tropical Metrology (IITM), an autonomous body under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, is set to start a pilot project to forecast the air qual- ity in the city ahead of the Commonwealth Games (CWG).
Once the experimentation stage is over, the project will be taken over by the India Metrological Department (IMD).
"The experiment phase starts in July. Twenty micro- processors with a resolution of three kilometers each will be placed all over Delhi to assess the quality of air," said B Mukhopadhyay, Deputy Director General, IMD.
The air quality will be calcu- lated in percentages.
"If the air quality forecast predicts 80 per cent air quali- ty it will mean that the air is 80 per cent safe while 20 per cent of the air has particles harmful for humans," Mukhopadhyay added.
