A “study on source apportionment, emission inventory, and carrying capacity related to pollution levels” is to be conducted by the Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee (CPCC). For this, the body has invited bids. As of now, the study has been planned to be conducted over a period of 18 months from now. The study will identify “pollutants in different areas of the city, including background, residential, commercial/mixed areas, and specific pollution hot spots”.
