The Gurugram Air Quality Crisis: Construction’s Role

The construction boom in Gurugram is playing a pivotal role in the city's declining air quality . As more residential and commercial buildings rise, construction dust and pollutants are becoming major contributors to air pollution. Heavy machinery, along with the transportation of raw materials, releases high levels of particulate matter into the atmosphere. These pollutants not only reduce visibility but also pose severe health risks, especially for people with respiratory conditions. Implementing cleaner technologies, such as dust control systems and eco-friendly construction materials, could help mitigate the environmental impact.
