Mysuru: The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) has now developed a hi-tech state-of-the-art air quality monitoring station at its premises on the outskirts of Mysuru. Real-time monitoring of ambient air quality has begun and the pollution levels recorded were found to be within the national limits.
The facility, called Online Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Station, was established at an estimated cost of Rs. 1.5 crore and is maintained by a private agency. It can monitor around 20 parameters, including rainfall. An electronic display has been installed next to the station where continuously monitored data is displayed one after the other for public knowledge.
