The Haryana State Pollution Control Board has imposed prohibition on
establishing new pyrolysis plants (for extraction of fuel oil from waste
rubber tyres) in the state till the study in the local effects caused
on health and environment by them is completed, a spokesperson said on
Thursday.
The board spokesperson said that the decision of
prohibition on these plants has been taken in view of reports that
carbon particles emitted from these plants are very harmful to human
respiratory system if proper control measures are not adopted by the
plants.
"Certain complaints have been received through CM's
Window and district administration from the nearby residents of these
plants regarding the spreading of air and water pollution and odour
nuisance from these plants.
"A few accidents that have occurred
in such plants due to inappropriate operation of pyrolysis reactor as
well as due to inadequate pollution abatement and safety measures
adopted by these plants," the spokesperson said.
There are 82
such plants in various district in Haryana, including in Jind, Bhiwani,
Panchkula, Kaithal, Mahendergarh, Sonipat, Jhajjar, Yamuna Nagar,
Karnal, Fathehabad, Hisar and Ambala.
The study on the harmful effects of these plants will be completed in six months.
