Another waste fire in Gurgaon- thick toxic smoke from mixed waste.
By the time fire brigade arrives, the fire may be out-but Black Carbon and toxic gases are already in our air. Even small fires can trigger asthma/bronchitis. This is
#preventable, yet keeps adding to the city’s even the benefit of recent rains.
Why isn’t open waste burning treated as a health crime?
Stronger enforcement is needed
Thanks @nidhee for your vigilance and reporting.
