Hyderabad: The Telangana Pollution Control Board (TGPCB) on Tuesday conducted a workshop on regulating open burning under the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP).

Professor Anurag Garg, IIT Bombay, highlighted various sources of pollution, like dust, industrial processes, crop burning, vehicular, and solid waste that have an impact on the environment and should be stopped by air pollution control devices.
Dr Mood Narayan, a pulmonologist, spoke on different types of air pollution, their causes, and their impact on adults and infants. Particulate Matters (PM), PM 10, PM 2.5, and PM 0.1 pose serious health hazards like bronchitis, asthma, cancer, and arrhythmia.
