The price of compromise on environmental responsibility: Who pays for the negligence?

Amidst rising pollution levels, KVAR Tech stays committed to provide industries with the best solutions, to monitor their environmental impact.

Pollution levels have been on the rise for a while, but recently the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board has risen to the challenge. In the wake of this concerning issue, the MPCB has taken a bold step by making it mandatory for all industries to host an air quality monitoring display outside their worksite. However, as is the case for most things, the urgency to follow regulations has been followed by the tendency to look for an easy way out. The industries in question have started opting for cheaper, less-reliable solutions with inaccurate sensors, or ‘fixes’ that, unsurprisingly, help no one.

Why? It is because most are simply unaware of the gravity of the crisis, we are in. The situation is dense. BEST buses in Mumbai are now being equipped with air-purifiers to soften the impact of dust pollution in the city, the BMC are developing an app for the ward officers to directly inspect construction sites for their air pollution measures. This is where we stand. And for industries to not be mindful of the situation we are in goes against the Corporate Social Responsibility, which states that a company should operate in ways that enhances the environment, and not negatively impacts it.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT PRODUCT

When it comes to contributing to the environment, the intention should not be to take the easy way out, but to select the right product. A search on e-commerce would give you thousands of results, but are they reliable and sustainable? Are the sensors they come equipped with, sensitive enough? Not likely. It sure would be wise to look for a budget-friendly or an attractive air quality monitor, but it should not be at the expense of compromised accuracy and negative societal impact. Choosing the right solution does not only help the environment, but it also makes financial sense to do so.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS THE ENVIRONMENT

Industries that provide products or a sense of service are not devoid of the responsibility to help the masses around them. Choosing the correct AQM solution helps these industries fulfill their role concerning the environment. Here is how an industry choosing the right solution can help the community they are a part of:

• The industry invests in the optimal solution.

• The monitoring solution provides accurate data.

• The data sampled prompts certain actions to be taken.

• Those actions help reduce pollution levels.

KVAR TECH'S AIR QUALITY MONITORING SOL,UTION

KVAR Tech’s AQM solution is one such optimal solution that prioritizes environmental stewardship. Our AQM solution not only meets the MPCB guidelines but also consistently provides reliable data. With sensors that do not compromise on accuracy, a data logger that helps keep a log of the data, and a display that provides visual clarity, KVAR Tech stands at the forefront in this fight against pollution with its Air Quality Monitoring Solution.

In conclusion, the MPCB’s latest mandate is a step in the right direction, but only if the concerned industries comply with it and are responsible towards the environment as well as the community. The industries must consider this an opportunity to lead the masses by example in terms of environmental responsibility. Cutting expenses on air quality monitoring does seem like a cost-reduction strategy, but the long-term cost extends beyond finances – endangered public health, a mark no one should bear on their conscience.
