Description:
Green belts (GB) or vegetation around factories and industrial premises mitigate air pollution (as the plants serve as a sink for pollutants and check the flow of dust, etc.) and reduce noise levels. Software developed by National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) for the determination of optimal width of a GB in and around an industry is based on pollution attenuation coefficient of selected plant species of deciduous trees existing in the region. The performance of the green belt of 500m width of a 13.5million tons/year refinery in the West coast of India is evaluated for reducing/managing various wastes generated. Its overall efficiency is above 60%.
