STATEMENT  REFERRED  TO  IN  REPLY  TO  PARAS  (a)  TO  (g)  OF  THE  LOK SABHA  STARRED  QUESTION  NO.  149  FOR  31.07.2023  REGARDING  'GROUND LEVEL OZONE'  RAISED BY SHRI  RAJIV  PRATAP  RUDY  AND  SHRI  FEROZE VARUN GANDHI, HON'BLE MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT.

Ground  level  concentrations  of  Ozone  are  monitored  as  per  the  methods  prescribed  in  the Notification regarding National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)  dated 18 th November, 2009. Details of Ozone levels monitored in 167 cities during April-June, 2022 are provided at Annexure-I. 101 cities meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for Ozone during April-June, 2022.

There  is  no  conclusive  data  available  to  establish  a  direct  correlation  of  death/disease exclusively  with  air  pollution.  Air  pollution  is  one  of  the  many  factors  affecting  respiratory ailments and  associated diseases.  Health is  impacted  by  a  number  of  factors  which  includes food  habits,  occupational  habits,  socio-economic  status, medical  history,  immunity,  heredity, etc., of the individuals apart from the environment.

Non-attainment cities (NAC) are identified based on ambient air quality data levels exceeding annual National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS 2009) with respect to any one of the notified parameters consecutively for five years. Ambient Air Quality parameters having longterm or annual national standards are considered for assessment of NAC.

Ground level concentrations of Ozone monitored in 64 Non-Attainment Cities reveal that 40 cities  are  within  the  National  Standards,  3  cities  have  exceeded  the  Standard  by  1% and  12 cities have exceeded the Standard by up to 10%. Details of Ozone data of 64 Non-attainment cites for the year 2022 are provided at Annexure-II .

Funds  are  provided  to  State  Pollution  Control  Board/Pollution  Control  Committees  for establishment of Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations (AQMS) on need basis under the component of National Air Quality Monitoring Programme (NAMP) of Central Sector Scheme 'Control of pollution'.

Central Pollution Control Board has prescribed various methods of measurement of concentrations of 12 ambient air quality parameters including Ozone, vide Notification dated 18 th   November, 2009. Central Pollution Board has not approved the sensor based technology for measurements for regulatory purpose.
