JAMMU
"In Jammu, 90 per cent of air pollution is vehicular," says A B Jandiyal, environmental engineer with the Jammu and Kashmir Pollution Control Board (j&kpcb). A cpcb report has already branded Jammu as one of the most polluted cities of the country. Yet no regular monitoring of the ambient air is conducted. Barring one study each by j&kpcb and cpcb, which showed an alarming picture, there is no other data.
In December 1996, cpcb found that the spm level during the daytime at Satwari Chowk, a commercial area, was about 10 times the permissible limit at 1,915
