On 28 August the infamous Supertech twin towers were blown to the ground using controlled explosives. Using the ‘Waterfall Implosion’ technique, the Supertech Twin Towers, touted as the country’s largest demolition, were reduced to rubble in a matter of seconds.
Although the demolition of illegal constructions came as a relief to many, the dust cloud and debris left behind by the explosion act as catalysts for many health problems.
Dust inhaled sharply increased the AQI (Air Quality Index) and the Noida Authority took necessary measures to control it. According to reports, the demolition resulted in the release of around 80,000 tonnes of dust and debris which will leave its mark on the environment for some time.
health effects
People who are sensitive to fluctuating air quality will experience a number of symptoms such as eye, nose and skin irritation. Apart from this, breathing problems like sore throat, nasal congestion, cough, shortness of breath and chest pain can be some common occurrences.
Talking about the complications, Dr Angshuman Mujerjee, Pulmonologist at Fortis Hospital said. “The immediate effect would be eye problems, coughing, sneezing and dust allergies. People who already have lung problems such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may face a debilitating onset disease. ,
types of pollution
Debris will have the same effect on the ground as it will on the air. The longer it takes for officials to clear the debris, the greater the degradation and fertility of the land. In addition, the debris, as it accumulates, will also affect the groundwater. If the situation worsens, the impact of debris on groundwater can lead to health problems related to stomach, kidney and liver.
Noida Authority CEO, Ritu Maheshwari shared the AQI data and said that the air quality is “well controlled” after the demolition was successfully carried out. Maheshwari, in his tweet, highlighted the various PM (Particulate Matter) and AQI indexes of areas around Noida.
The air quality is under continuous monitoring through 20 AQI monitoring stations at ITMS. @noida_authority The team is constantly monitoring the level of AQI and PM10.

types of particles
The two results described above are the result of a mixture of different particles commonly found in building materials. Materials such as gravel, sand, cement, lime, copper wire, PVC conduit, clay bricks and explosives are inhaled into the air, taking the toxicity of the surrounding air to dangerous levels.
