Swiss report naming Begusarai as world's most polluted city reflects 'Western bias': Bihar PCB
Begusarai as the world's most polluted city reflected "Western bias", the Bihar State Pollution Control Board (BSPCB) said on Wednesday and questioned the methodology used in the entire exercise. Speaking to PTI, BSPCB Chairman Devendra Kumar Shukla questioned why only one pollutant, PM 2.5, was taken into consideration for analysing the air quality of Begusarai and other cities in India. «When we talk about air quality, it should be a comprehensive analysis, taking into account all pollutants — PM 2.5, PM 10 (particulate matter less than 10 microns), nitrogen oxide, sulphur dioxide, ozone, carbon monoxide, ammonia and lead,» he said. «I will not call it a comprehensive analysis of air quality at all. There is a Western bias in the report,» he added.
