BMC Approves Air Quality Monitors for Bldg Sites
Hindustan Times Mumbai
|May 20, 2025
The civic administration has approved 15 models of low-cost air quality sensors to be installed at every construction site in Mumbai, as mandated by the Bombay High Court.
MUMBAI: Readings from these monitors will be displayed on-site as well as online, alerting the civic body as well as residents to a potential breach of air quality limits.
"In February, the BMC had invited firms to submit their sensor-based air quality monitors for scrutiny," said an official from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's environment department. "Of a total of 22, we have selected 15 that meet our specifications."
While these monitors have been mandated since 2023, only 10% of construction sites have installed them, most of them unreliable, he said.
