Pollution problem in Mysore

Q: Guys, I’m thinking of applying for a job in Mysore, but I’ve heard a lot of complaints regarding the amount of pollution there. Is it so bad that I should reconsider moving there?

I totally agree man, all these vehicles giving out so much smoke is one of the main reasons for the crazy amount of pollution here. You know, most of the petrol bunks in this area are selling adulterated petrol, which also causes more emission from cars and bikes. Mysore actually recorded an alarming rise in the amount of suspended particulate matter, which is basically the amount of pollution in the air. But the good news is that the World Environmental Service Organisation has begun to address this as a serious issue, and the KSPCB is also working on it. But yeah, if you get a good job offer here, I would recommend you take it.

Hi, yes, unfortunately, there is a major problem of pollution in Mysore. With so many companies and industries cropping up everywhere, the output of smoke and other polluting agents is heavy. Besides, there has also been a huge rise in the number of people relocating to Mysore that the traffic is getting too much to handle and these emissions from all the automobiles are also causing serious pollution in this area. But I think that unless you have some sort of allergy to dust and smoke, you can manage it. Besides, there are several new roads being constructed in all parts of Mysore so that should ease up the traffic a bit.
