URBAN AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT KANPUR -SCINERIO
BACKGROUND

With the development, the urban areas are growing into bigger agglomerations with ever
increasing influx of people which in turn create demand for support services viz. water
supply, transportation, drainage/sewerage, garbage collection and disposal etc. that are
essential is far exceeding the supply of these services. While taking up developmental
activities, the assimilative capacities of the environmental components i.e., air, water and land
to various pollution are rarely considered. Also lack of proper land use control is resulting in
poor land use compatibility. The developmental activities being haphazard and uncontrolled
are leading to over use, congesting, incompatible land use and poor living conditions. thus,
the problems of environmental pollution in urban areas are becoming complex and are
creating high risk environment to the city residents in the form of deterioration of the natural
and socio-economic living conditions which specifically includes overcrowding, congestion,
lack of sufficient water supply, unhygienic living conditions, air and noise pollution etc.

In the process of development, the issues confronting today are achieving desired
development for economic or social reasons on one hand and safe guarding the environment
and maintaining good quality living conditions on the other. The measures taken for pollution
control in individual sectors viz. municipal waste disposal, industry, transport etc. are not
solving the problems, due to ever increasing gap between ‘demand’ and ‘supply’. Such
conditions pose serious health and economic stress to all residents. From the health statistics,
it is evident that morbidity and mortality is often predominantly related to environmental risks
are due to various factors such as air pollution from vehicular , industrial and domestic
sources, noise pollution, water pollution-lack of proper storm water drainage and sewerage
system, improper and inadequate garbage collection and disposal system, haphazard silting of
industries/processes, transportation, storage and handling of toxic or hazardous chemicals,
and lack of adequate open spaces and green areas etc.

Conventionally, the environmental pollution problems are solved by introducing

environmental management techniques such as control of pollution at source, providing of
sewage treatment facilities etc. However, in large urban agglomerations, the problems cannot
merely be solved by pollution control measures. The environmental aspects are to be induced
into each of the developmental activities at the planning stage itself and are to be well
coordinated and balanced. Presently, the environmental aspects are not usually considered
while preparing master plans or budget plans and the process is skewed towards
developmental needs . For all developmental activities , a crucial input is land and
depending on the activity a specific land use is decided . The environmentally related
land use are trade and commerce, housing construction , transport facilities, (road, rail and
water ) , utilities (water-surface and ground etc.) refuse/hazardous waste disposal facilities,
waste water installations, quarrying and mining, power generation, forestry, inland and
coastal fisheries, recreation and tourism etc.

OBJECTIVES

A study was conducted to incorporate environmental considerations into urban planning and
prepare an Environmental Management plan for improving the environmental quality. The
pilot study for Kanpur has been taken up to look at the possibilities of using planning tools for
environmental improvement.
Agencies Engaged in Urban Development in Kanpur

The agencies having direct responsibility in one or the other in regard to urban development
activities in Kanpur Metropolis are:

1. Town and Country Planning Department

2. Kanpur Development Authority
3. Housing Development Board.
4. U.P.Jal Nigam
5. Kanpur Jal Sansthan
6. Kanpur Nagar Mahapalika ( Kanpur Municipal Corporation)
7. Directorate of Local Bodies

Kanpur Municipal corporation ( Kanpur Nagar Mahapalika )

The city government was upgraded from Municipal Board to Municipal Corporation in the
year 1960. The specified duties are assigned to city government such as sanitation, street
lighting, road streets ,lands , lanes, drainage, etc, Housing and urban development are no more
its responsibility. Yet provision of civic amenities in new areas developed by the Kanpur
Development Authority becomes the responsibility of Municipal Corporation.

GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROFILE

Environmental Resources
The environmental resource areas of Kanpur Include ;

• Plantations ;
• Monuments ;
• Play grounds ;
• forest plantation ;
• Open Lands ;
• Agricultural Lands ;
• Parks/ recreational areas ;
• Prayer Grounds : etc

Ambient air quality

City encounters severe dust and smoke problems and the prescribed limit of 500 ug/m3 is
often exceeded in and location in the city. Due to impact of vehicular pollution , air quality at
major road crossings exceeds the norms of Suspended Particulate matter and lead . Respirable
dust concentrations are also alarmingly high in many locations in the city.

Vehicular pollution

About 0.2 million petrol/diesel driven vehicles are plying on the roads contributing to 142
tons of pollutants per day. Badly maintained roads, heterogeneous nature of traffic
predominant with slow–moving vehicles aggravates the impact of the vehicular pollution.
AIR

According to the study, particulate matter, sulphur dioxide, Oxides of nitrogen,

carbon monoxide. Lead and ammonia gas are the major air pollutants generated in
Kanpur city. The Sources of pollutants in the city can be classified into domestic &
commercial sources, vehicular traffic, industrial sources and natural sources.

Emission Loads form Domestic and Commercial Sources

The estimated figures of fuel consumption in domestic sector, mainly uses for the purpose of
cooking are given below:

Coal/Wood : 100 t/day

Kerosene : 105 kl/day (71 t/day)
LPG : 91 t/day
Cow-dung : not accounted

The estimated air pollution due to burning of above fuel is given in Table:

Emissions from Fuels in Kanpur

Domestic Emission Sources Emission Rate (kg/day)

Type of fuel Consumption/day PM SO2 NOx CO
Coal 70 t 350 532.00 104 3132
kerosene 105 kl 213 357.00 163 21
LPG- 911 38 0.04 164 40
Wood& related fuel 30 t 205 15.00 150 30

Kerosene and LPG are the major sources of fuel used in the city followed by use of coal and
wood. Coal is predominantly used in slums areas, Road side tea stalls air, restaurants etc. Use
of coal is significant in slum settlements along the railway yard. Sensitivity to domestic
emission is proportional to the total population and socio-economic state of the majority of
the habitat in the area. Use of coal for the domestic purposes is a major source of pollution in
terms of carbon monoxide, SO2 and particulate matter. Hence, the most prominent and
harmful carbon monoxide is chosen to evaluate the pollution sensitivity with respect to
domestic emissions.

The city has been divided into population grids of 1 sq.km. The quantity of fuel being burnt is
estimated using existing population densities and their broad socio-economic conditions.
Suitable emission factors are used to estimate the domestic in each grid. Carbon monoxide
being the major source of domestic pollutant, Is used for grading the domestic air pollution
sensitivity as below.

Air Pollution CO Emission Rate in a Grid

Sensitivity
1.High 3kg/hour
2.Medium >1.5but<3kg/hour
3.Average >0.5but<1.5kg/hour
4.Low <0.5g/hour
5.Nill No population

Vehicular Pollution Load

The vehicular emissions are one of the major sources of air pollution affecting the urban
population in Kanpur. Unlike industrial emissions, Vehicular pollutants are released at ground
level due to poor dispersion at ground level and hence the impact on recipient population will
be more.
The all-round growth of the city leads to tremendous increase in vehicular traffic. There is
substantial growth in vehicles ever since 1961. As discussed earlier. There are about 0.25
million vehicles on road in Kanpur. The total pollution load from these vehicles is calculated
by dividing the entire city into grids of 1 sq. km each. Road length and volume of different
categories of vehicles are estimated in each grid. The total vehicular emission in each of the
grids is estimated using suitable emission factors for each category of vehicles.

The total emissions representing sum of SO2, NOx, Carbon Monoxide, Particulate Matter and
Hydro-Carbons are shown grid- wise in Table 4.8.

The total distribution of pollution load is 3550 kg/hr as per break-up details given below.

Parameter Load in kg/hour

SO2 33.7

PM 42.2
NOx 408
CO 2307
HC 757

Based on the emission rates, the air pollution sensitivity / potential in each grid is categorized
into 3 groups as shown below.

Air- pollution sensitivity Emission rate in a grid

1. High 80 kg/hour
2. Medium >40but< 80 kg/hour
3. Low <40 kg/hour

Industrial air pollution load

The air pollution from an industrial area can be related to quantity of fossil burnt in boilers
and process fugitive emissions. Data on location of industrial clusters in different areas in the
city, quantity of fuel used in each area and the height of release of emissions from stacks is a
vital input for estimating the air pollution potential. The fuel consumption in each of the
industrial area and prominent point source emissions in the city are shown in Table 4.9

Air pollution sensitivity due to industrial emissions

The emission rates are estimated on each grid by identifying the number units present in the
grid. Their pollution control measures and amount of fuel consumed by those units.
Particulate matter being the significant air-pollutant, the criteria as in table 4.10 is followed
in assessing the air pollution sensitivity with respect to industrial activity with in city limits.

Air pollution loads from natural sources

The top surface soil of Kanpur is a loose alluvium. The soil dust becomes air borne with the
flow of wind. Dust storms are very common during May-June Open area not covered with
grass or vegetation are the major source of natural dust.

Air quality map

The air quality zones were demarcated based on pollution load estimates from various sources
and were finalized base don fields monitoring at selected places in each of the zones.
The ambient air quality was monitored at selective grids in the city to represent the overall
quality. The studies show that concentration of SO2 and NOx are well within limits in all the
locations in the city. However in almost all locations the concentration of SPM is found
exceeding the prescribed norms. Hence, the air pollution problem in Kanpur is prescribed as
mainly due to dust and smoke. The table represents resultant air quality as depicted in map.

Based on the air quality, the city has been classified into the following zones
• Highly ploouted:
• Ploouted:
• Medium polluted:
• Good: and
• Very good.
Problems related to air pollution in Kanpur city
• The estimated pollution loads in Kanpur is 5500 kg/d form domestic sources, 2550 kg/h
(142 t/d) from vehicular sources and 12,000 kg/hr. form industrial sources.
Factors effecting air quality
• The commercial areas are
characterised by unclean roads
and traffic congestions.
• In industrial areas low level
emissions from DG sets. Small
boiler emissions,small foundries
• Fly ash from ash pond and
operation of small boilers in
Panki Power plant also affects air
quality of adjoining areas
• Impact of adjacent industrial
emissions
• Impact of power house fly ash
• Commercial and residential areas
being effected by industrial areas
during lea-ward wind flow.
• Most of the areas are under
developing stage with uncovered
open areas.leading to dust
problem.
• Vehicular emissions
• Emissions from small boilers
being liberated through stacks of
height 15 to 30m.height
• Natural sources of dust,dust due
to vehiclual movement , use of
coal/cow dung in adjoining slum
areas if any
• Natural source of dust
• Industrial influence during lea
ward wind diraction and other
favourable meteorological
conditions.
• Natural source
• Distant traces of emissions from
main city.
• City encounters severe dust and smoke problems and the prescribed limit of 500 ug/m3 is
often exceeded in many parts of the city. In most of the central areas, where high densities
of population are existing, air pollution levels are far exceeding the standards.
• About 0.2 millions petrol / diesel driven vehicles are plying on the roads contributing to
142 tons of pollutants per day. Due to impact of vehicular pollution, air quality at major
road crossing exceeds the norms of suspended particular matter and lead. lack of proper
transportation networks, traffic system, badly maintained roads, heterogeneous nature of
traffic predominant with slow-moving vehicles aggravates the impact the vehicular
pollution.
• The existing metre guage railway line is leading to traffic blocks and air pollution
problems due to increased idling time of vehicles at intersection and traffic congestion.
There are 17 level crossings and the roads (gates) are closed whenever a train passes
(which is usually every 1 hr.). On opening the gates, the mixed traffic from across at once
comes on to the highway thereby posing severe congestion and traffic gams. The
pollution levels are found to increase 5-6 times after the opening of the gates, due to high
density of vehicles.
• The highway is passing through the heart of city, carrying large volume of through traffic
that has nothing to do with city. Also, the highway is posing noise and air pollution
problems. Several trucks are usually seen parked all along the road blocking the road that
is already congested with mixed traffic.
• The movement of vehicles on unclean and unpaved roads / footpath make the
accumulated dust air borne thereby directly effecting the moving population and
settlements along the road side.
• Noise levels are alarmingly high in commercial areas, far exceeding the prescribed limits.
Residential and silence zones are also marginally exceeding the safety norms. Noise
levels are within limits only in industrial areas.
• Major cause of air pollution in the core area posed by vehicular pollution, usage of coal
for domestic sources.
• The impact of vehicular pollution can not be directly attributed to the exhaust emissions
but due to the lack of proper traffic and transportation.
• The existing wholesale markets and the truck and bus terminus in the heart of the city are
posing traffic problems.
• Use of coal, wood, cow-dung etc. in slums abadis, LIG colonies, slum settlements along
the railway yard create localized smoke problems effecting visibility and irrigation to
eyes.
• Smoke emissions and noise from diesel driven tempos, the major public transport system
in Kanpur causes nuisance to the commuters as well as population living along the
roadside.
• Though there are many industrial sources involved in burning of fossil fuel, existence of
gaseous pollutants namely SO2, NOx within prescribed limits.
• The concentration of lead was found exceeding the standards i.e. 1.5 ug/m3 at some of the
busy road intersections in the city.
• Specific gaseous emissions like ammonia from fertilizer industry, mercaptants from IOCL
bottling and storage facilities are prominent along the leaward wind direction of those
units.
• In general, fugitive ammonia gas can be sensed within Panki industrial area and not
noticed at the residential localities of Barra. The village settlements/slums at Noriah-
khera and Sarai-mita will be at risk in case of severe leakage.
• The characteristic loose surface soil becomes air borne with flow of wind. This is more
prominent in the areas not covered with built-up areas or vegetation. Respirable dust
concentrations are also alarmingly high in many locations in the city.
• Problem due to foul odour near Bakarmandi slaughter-house and primary collection
centers of garbage at various localities in Kanpur nuisance to the public.
AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN
The air pollution problems in Kanpur are due to traffic & transportation, burning of solid
waste, use of hard coal and cow-dung for cooking purposes, lack of green belts/buffer zones,
incompatibility of land uses etc.

Traffic & Transport

Improved Road Network

To ease the traffic congestion and related environmental problems, a network of road
corridors are existing, or new roads with improved width, pedestrian facilities, parking
facilities, traffic signs etc.

THROUGH TRAFFIC – There is immediate need to provide grade separators for level
crossings so that the existing by pass road becomes operational.
The possibilities of an alternate by-pass keeping in the future growth of the city needs to be
explored.

INTRA-CITY TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

• Regulation of traffic is essential in core city area. Mixed nature of traffic should be
avoided on these road and certain slow moving traffic such as bullock carts, hand-pull
carts should be banned during day- time.

• Movement of goods transport should be restricted during day time in goods yard.

• All the vehicles moving on the roads should meet the stipulated emissions norms.

• It is suggested to slowly phase out the existing tempos and introduce an alternative mass
transport system.

• Two wheelers are responsible for 70% of the vehicular pollution in Kanpur city. An
organized mass transport system may reduce use of two wheelers by there owners for
there daily routine trips.

• There is a need for improvement of major road junctions in terms of the road geometrics,
channelisers and traffic-signals.

REALIGNMENT OF METER GAUGE RAIL TRACK

The existing meter-gauge railway line passing through the city has 17 level crossings which
are main identified reason for the air pollution resulting from the traffic congestion at the time
of passing of the rails. Following are the options for improvement.

PARKING

Underground or multi-storied parking facilities are the alternative solutions for parking
problems.
COMPREHNSIVE ACTION PLAN

Over the years, the city has faced huge change not only in terms of pollution load increase,
but also the infrastructure requirement (road network, water supply solid waste management
etc.) could not full fill the requirements. As a result, the ambient air quality, surface water
quality, ground water quality has deteriorated, which has forced Hon’ble Supreme Court to
intervene so as to have an uniform and coordinated action plan as below. The measures
suggested in short term action plan needs financial package from the Government of India.

Identified Activities For KANPUR NAGAR NIGAM in the Comprehensive environmental

improvement of Kanpur City ( with special reference to Air Pollution Control). are :-

Responsibilities Entrusted

Short Term Measures

1. Creation of Environmental Cell.

2. Implementation of MSW Rules/BMV Rules with proper collection of waste,
identification dumping of sites with monitoring, methodology (if necessary
private parties may encourage for management).
3. Creation of parking areas/and recreational areas (with collection of revenue) of all
congested areas.
4. Management and maintenance of roads with daily sweeping cleaning of drains
(including de-silting ) with a fixed time schedule to rehabilitated water legged
areas.

Long Term Measures

1. Introduction of synchronized signaling system preferable utilizing solar power.

2. Removal of encroachment from the roads, particularly GT Road, Meston Road
and other areas.
3. Maintenance of parks and gardens including reclamation of land from old
dump sites.
4. Identification and shifting of local “Chattas” to a suitable area with basic
infrastructure facilities including utilization of organic manure/ “gober” gas plant
(This would additionally save chocking of drains / sewers).
