Chennai ranks high in levels of Hazardous materials in air

The news in Deccan Chronicle Chennai on 24/1/08 will worry the people in chennai about their future and about next generation. " According to recent reading collected from certain areas in chennai by central pollution control board(CPCB), the RSPM level ( content of hazardous particles in the air content) is 94 , while the danger level prescribed by the CPCB is 100. The massive urbanisation and industrialization has led to a rise in population, vehicles and fuel consumption as well ". Dr. Pushpavanam from IIT Madras says " The quality of air in chennai is poor because of high emission of lead fuel and due to diesel powered vehicles".Also people with asthma,heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to poor air quality. This constitute new problem". At the last of the article Dr. Makhijani's words are very touching " Every comfort has its own disadvantage. A problem as prominent as this can not be resolved unless it is attacked from all sides and that requires some sacrifice". I am sure that the writer of this article is a person who love nature as well as chennai

Fear Typhoid fever

Last two weeks I was suffering from heavy fever.That fever taught me a lot. Especially how to face a problem when I am alone.I had medicines from chennai hospitals, but I couldn't stop that fever.It is better to get suggestions or instructions from elders or parents in such situations.I returned back to home and admitted in LF hospital Angamally.Now I am quite ok. It was actually typhoid fever. http://www.reference.com/search?q=typhoid%20fever . In chennai, I will get fever,headache or digestion problem in every month. Main reason for this is the big city's authorities is not caring or noticing the drainage system. When a small rain comes, you can not differentiate between the rain water and sewage water. The sewage water handling is very poor in chennai . The smell that coming from this canals is horrible. It is hard enough to make you unconscious. Everyday I have to cross one such sewage water canal before going to my office in Tidel Park.Why these developed city is lagging or not listening this dangerous problem?? Why the authorities are not caring the health of people??
