Plot twist: That dust on our roads isn’t just staying put—it’s caught in a never-ending re-suspension loop!

From loose particles already lying on roads to traffic disturbing and lifting them back into the air, it’s a constant cycle.

That’s why water sprinkling and road washing aren’t just about cleaning—they are key tools for dust suppression!

By adding moisture, water helps particles stick together so fewer of them become airborne when vehicles pass by.

Let’s talk about the invisible crowd: PM10 and PM2.5!

What actually is particulate matter? It’s tiny solid or liquid particles hanging out in the air.
PM10: Particles with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 micrometers or less (the larger fraction).
PM2.5: The finer fraction—particles of 2.5 micrometers or less.

Both are heavily monitored because understanding particle size helps us figure out what’s really in our air and how to protect ourselves. Stay informed and breathe smart!

From identifying road dust hotspots and deploying mechanized vacuum-based sweeping to targeted water sprinkling and proper road maintenance—combating dust pollution is a round-the-clock commitment. The ultimate goal is simple: less dust on our roads means less dust in our air. Swipe through to see how systematic source control helps cut down re-suspension for good!

That dust on our roads isn’t just staying put—it’s caught in a never-ending re-suspension loop! From multiple build-up sources to traffic disturbing settled particles, it keeps coming back into the air we breathe. But we can flip the script!

By shifting from dust build-up to active control—like mechanical sweeping, water sprinkling, and monitoring road hotspots—we can achieve the ultimate goal: Less Dust On Roads
Stay informed, protect your city, and let’s keep Delhi breathing easy!

Ever wonder how we actually know what’s in the air we’re breathing?

It all starts when ambient air is sampled by monitoring stations, specialized analyzers detect pollutants and gases, and sensors convert those findings into measurable signals.

Those signals are tracked and processed into clean air-quality data, connecting spots across the map to build a complete, citywide picture of Delhi’s air!

Plot twist: Delulu is not the way to go when it comes to the air we breathe!

While you’re busy skipping workouts or planning the weekend, DPCC’s CAAQMS (Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations) are working 24x7 to capture raw data, turning complex pollutant measurements into a simple AQI number you can easily track on your phone.

Measured. Processed. Understood. Be the smart friend who knows their area’s AQI and stays ahead!

Delhi isn’t just one monitoring point air quality varies dynamically across traffic zones, residential neighborhoods, industrial hubs, and peri-urban areas.

With 47 Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations (CAAQMS) active today and 13 more planned under our NCR-wide expansion initiative, we are strengthening data collection using critical factors like spatial coverage, land use, and population density.

More locations mean better coverage, precise local insights, and targeted action for cleaner air!

Tackling Road Dust at the Source: The Power of Mechanical Sweeping! 🧹🚛
Did you know? A significant portion of road dust isn’t new, it settles along road shoulders and curbs, getting continuously re-suspended into our breathing zone by moving traffic.
To eliminate airborne particulate matter (PM10 & PM2.5), the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) actively promotes and monitors intensive Mechanical Road Sweeping (MRS) across Delhi’s key road corridors.
High-Efficiency Sweeping: Heavy-duty motorized brushes loosen settled silt and debris from paved road edges.
Contained Suction: Powerful vacuum systems immediately draw dust particles into closed, sealed containment hoppers, preventing secondary dust clouds.
Scientific Disposal: Collected road dust is transported in covered systems and safely disposed of at designated sites so it never returns to Delhi’s air.
The goal isn’t just clean pavements, it’s cleaner, breathable air for every citizen. 🌿
