PANJIM: From April, the real-time air quality data of Panjim would be measured, with GSPCB set to install a continuous ambient air quality monitoring station in the city. The project cost is pegged at Rs 1.20 crore.

GSPCB chairman Jose Manuel Noronha said the monitoring station will be installed at Kadamba bus stand, to obtain live updates on seven different pollutants in the air, especially during the tourist season.
“This will measure air pollutants like PM5, PM10, ozone, ammonia and will provide update on wind speed, wind directions, etc,” he said. 
The installation of the station is part of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) scheme, and the station will be set up on a 50-50 sharing basis by the State and CPCB.
