Air pollution depletes the purity of nature. This pollution can have an adverse affect on the environment. In order to preserve the sanctity of the atmosphere, Air Pollution Control Tower, APCT will be built near the DND expressway in Noida. Earlier, APCT of this type was set up in Delhi in August 2021. This will be the first tower which is being set up in Uttar Pradesh. The APCT will be installed as a pilot project by the Noida Authority in collaboration with Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL).
The APCT will be 20 meters tall and 4.5 meters wide. This will have the capability of improving air quality in a one-square-kilometer area.
“The government-run BHEL will fund the project and manufacture the air pollution control towers”, according to officials, while the Noida Authority will provide them with space and a location to operate.
“Enabling Noida to breathe better! An air pollution control tower will be set up on the green belt at DND Expressway with support from BHEL. This pilot project will help improve the air quality in an area of 1 sq. km. This will be the first of its kind in the state”, Noida Authority CEO Ritu Maheshwari.
