CIL has "put special thrust on energy efficiency measures" in a bid to reduce its carbon footprint and has drawn up a five-year plan to offset carbon emissions in all its coal producing companies. CIL accounts for over 80% of domestic coal output through its seven wholly owned subsidiaries. The statement said that coal companies have several areas for implementing energy efficiency measures "such as colonies, buildings, offices and industrial establishments apart from efficient power supply management." However, it noted that the major opportunity for reduction in carbon emissions comes from heavy earthmoving machines, transport, ventilation and pumping. With the help of its subsidiaries, CIL has been taking various energy conservation and efficiency measures over the years and now plans to move ahead with emphasis on activities responsible for more environment pollution. It plans to replace its large fleet of diesel-powered heavy earthmoving machines with equipment

  GENERAL QUESTIONNAIRE ON   PARTICULATE MATTER April ‘2021       1. What is particulate matter? Particulate matter  (PM) has a diameter of or below 10 microns and is referred to as PM10. Dust particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 microns are referred to as PM 2.5 or PM 1 for particles below 1 micrometer. Particulate matter comes from multiple sources, and is generated during the combustion of fossil fuels and wood. Fine dust is also generated by abrasion and by airborne dust. Other emissions, such as from agricultural sources (sulfur oxides, ammonia, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds-VOC) also impact human health. The control of particulate matter pollution is of considerable importance in the protection of human health: PM10 fine dust particles are able to enter the bronchial tubes and finer particles may migrate unhindered into the deepest airways all the way into the blood stream. This particulate matter causes inflammatory reactions of the respirat
