I stay in BTM, very close to the lake and feel that it is relatively less polluted from other areas in Bangalore. Guess what I found out today! BTM and outer ring road area is among the top five most polluted areas in Bangalore! Not a good ranking to top.
In January this year, the RSPM count in Whitefield stood at 100 microgram per cubic metre, while it was a mere 38 in Basaveshwaranagar.
In fact, the RSPM count has always hovered above 100 in Whitefield in the past five years. But the scene is not all that bad. The Suphur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrous Oxide (NO) levels have not crossed the permissible figure in the area.
In January this year, RSPM count for Whitefield was recorded at 100 microgram per cubic metre, while the sulphur dioxide and nitrous oxide count were recorded at 17.7 and 30.6 microgram per cubic metre, respectively.
