STEPS FOR ENVIRONMENT POLLUTION CONTROL

STEPS FOR ENVIRONMENT POLLUTION CONTROL

The government has already taken some steps to improve the pollution control of Bangladesh. But the steps are not sufficient. Few more steps may also be taken to improve the environmental degradation:

Use of Technologies

Environmental technologies and methods such as Geographic Information Systems, remote sensing and environmental impact assessment those might be used for integrated policy formulation, decision-making, evaluation and monitoring of environment degradation.

Development of Database

A complete environmental database may be made. After then, the environmental planners might have the access for environmental up-gradation, planning and management. Ensure that the database is to be updated regularly.

Awareness

Formal and informal methods of education and training might be adopted through local media, seminars, celebrations, workshops, walks and student competitions to alert the people regarding the process of environmental degradation.

Waste Management

The government might take appropriate actions to monitor emission limits for reducing pollution control. The industries might be given both technical and financial assistance for introducing mitigation measures, promoting green technologies, using less pollution technologies.

Enforcement of Rules

Environmental Conservation Rules of 1997, traffic rules and other relevant environmental laws might be enforced to punish the violation of the emission limits.

Transport Management

Government must strengthen vehicle emission standards, complete the emission inventory and conduct an investigation on the emission control measures. Auto-rickshaw must be restricted in big city.
