India is the world's largest emitter of anthropogenic sulfur dioxide, which is largely produced by burning coal and contributes greatly to air pollution
, according to a NASA data analysis released this week by environmental NGO Greenpeace.
According to the report, global anthropogenic sulphur dioxide (SO2) emission sites detected in India account for more than
15% of OMI (Ozone Monitoring Instrument) satellite monitoring sites.
India's major SO2 emission hotspots are Singrauli in Madhya Pradesh, Neyveli and Chennai in Tamil Nadu, Tarcher and Jharsuguda in Orissa, Korba in Chhattisgarh, Kutch in Gujarat, Ramagundam in Telangana and Chandrapur and Koradi
in Maharashtra.
According to the analysis, the vast majority of factories in India lack flue gas desulfurization technology to control air pollution
.
NASA's data also highlights other hotspots around the globe, with Russia's Norilsk smelter being the world's largest hotspot for sulphur dioxide emissions, followed by Kriel in South Africa's Mhummalanga province and Zagroz in Iran
.
Indian environmental experts have called for strict action
on coal plants.
They said the coal plants should not be left to continue polluting and creating an environmental emergency
in the country.
"We are facing an air pollution emergency, but it is not clear whether power plants will reach more severe levels in Delhi and across the country," said
Pujarini Sen, a veteran campaigner at Greenpeace.
According to the report, the top 10 countries in terms of global sulphur dioxide emissions are India, Russia, China, Moscow, Iran, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Ukraine, the United States, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Australia and Cuba
.
From the perspective of emission growth, since 2008, India, Mexico and Saudi Arabia have shown a growth trend, especially India's growth rate has accelerated
significantly.
Iran, Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey showed a slow downward trend, while South Africa remained basically unchanged
.
In particular, sulfur dioxide emissions in China and the United States have fallen sharply since 2008, and the development of clean energy and the spread of desulfurization technology are the main reasons for
the significant decline in sulfur dioxide emissions in these two countries.
