File photo NEW DELHI: Increasing air pollution is not just a big risk for our lungs but it is also impacting India’s centuries old monuments, some of which house precious paintings and murals, vulnerable and exposed to contaminated air and climate change. To address this concern, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) plans to set up its own weather stations at some of the UNESCO and ASI-protected sites, like Humayun’s Tomb, Sun Temple, Charminar and the ruins of Hampi, to study the damage done by deteriorating air quality and changing weather patterns. The automated weather stations (AWS), which will be set up with help from the Indian Space Research Organisation, will have advanced instruments that gauge pollution and weather phenomenon. To facilitate this, ASI has mooted a proposal to strengthen its science department, based in Dehradun, and earmarked Rs 16 crore for it.
