National Academy of Sciences of Sri Lanka meeting reports high levels of air pollution in Colombo

Dr U. Pethiyagoda, a former Ambassador and retired civil servant, who pointed out while the problem of air pollution by vehicle emissions was discussed what was only done is the introduction of the system of ‘Vehicle Emission’ control. What actually happens is the private vehicle owners are subjected to undergo the most inconvenient and expensive emission test to obtain their annual revenue licenses while buses and lorries and other heavy vehicles continue to emit huge amount of fumes and there is no attempt to control or restrict them.

In addition to the entirely unnecessary testing of privately owned vehicles this procedure also makes inroads to a huge degree of corruption and it is the experience of several motorists that they have to provide illegal gratifications to get their vehicles passed, thus the statistics do not portray the actual situation.

He said that in most Colombo schools the nursery and kindergarten classes are located near the entrance of the schools (near the road) where the area is most polluted and the pollutants are inhaled by the children. Prof Manouri Sennayake speaking on ‘Impact of Air Pollution on the Health of Children in Colombo’ indicated that an alarming number of asthma cases are reported from Colombo and children are the most vulnerable.
