PATNA (Metro Rail News): The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (DMRC) has implemented advanced mist spray dust suppression technology to minimize the impact of dust pollution during the construction of the new metro line in Patna. This technology involves the use of specialized equipment to produce fine particles of water that bind with the dust particles, preventing them from becoming airborne. By strategically placing the mist spray equipment on-site, the entire construction area is covered, making it an effective and eco-friendly solution for controlling dust pollution.
Patna’s air quality has been a growing concern in recent years, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) frequently exceeding safe limits set by the World Health Organization. However, the use of mist spray dust suppression technology during the construction of the Patna Metro has the potential to significantly control the AQI in the city. It is an ideal solution for cities like Patna where air pollution is a serious concern and will solve the concerns of local residents regarding dust pollution around construction sites.
The effectiveness of mist spray technology in controlling dust pollution, even in the harshest conditions, has been proven. It not only keeps the surrounding area clean but also reduces the risk of respiratory problems for workers and nearby residents. DMRC ensures the implementation of environmental best practices for controlling emissions or minimizing the impact of construction activities on the environment, as required by the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981.
The construction of the Patna Metro is expected to be completed by 2026 and will provide much-needed transportation options for residents in the area. With the use of mist spray dust suppression technology, residents can be assured that the project will be carried out with utmost care for the environment and their health.
