The ambient aerial prime successful Puducherry took a beating this Deepavali with a important summation successful particulate substance PM (10) and PM (2.5) owed to the bursting of crackers, with the metropolis witnessing a spike successful contamination that was supra the prescribed limit, and overmuch higher erstwhile compared to levels connected a mean day.
According to a property release, the ambient aerial prime monitored by the Puducherry Pollution Control Committee (PPCC) astatine Jawahar Nagar successful the metropolis recovered PM (10) and P (2.5) levels to beryllium connected the higher side.
The readings were compared with the time earlier Deepavali. The metropolis level mean calculated for PM 10 and PM 2.5 was 133 ug/m3 and 120 ug/m3 respectively. However, the attraction of SO2 and NO2 were wrong the prescribed limits.

The ambient sound level was measured astatine Muthialpet and Mudaliarpet successful Puducherry. The measured sound level had accrued successful some the areas..
The PPCC attributed summation successful sound level to bursting of crackers, dense question of vehicles, and different anthropogenic activities (increasing attraction of atmospheric pollutants). The result of the study reveals that attraction of pollutants was recovered to beryllium connected the higher side.
According to an official, “The aerial prime successful Puducherry was recovered to beryllium poor. The aerial prime reached the highest worth arsenic of 8 p.m. The attraction of particulate substance was 3 times higher erstwhile compared to a mean day. But the levels had travel down importantly erstwhile compared to the erstwhile year.”
