NGOs in Tamil Nadu have alerted the local pollution control board TNPCB about toxic air pollution in the Chengalpattu district. Residents have reported health problems, including lung infections in children, due to harmful chemicals, such as volatile organic compounds and formaldehyde being released by textile factories in the area. After NGOs have urged TNPCB to take action, a committee of environmental scientists and engineers has been formed to investigate the issue.
