SUJALA
can be used cost-effectively to bring down the pollution index from a high
value(even 100) to 0.
One can notice
from the above table that land, water and air have varying ability to
remediate pollution, in a decending order. It is sad that we use air for
most discharges, followed by water.
Incineration
should never be allowed because it shifts the pollutants into the air.
