Mumbai- Capital of Allergy Causing Species: Consultation with Pankaj Oudhia
“This is exhaustive list of trees and shrubs planted
in Mumbai. Please sort out the Allergy causing as well as toxic species
specially to children.” This was request of one of the leading Non-governmental
organisations of Maharashtra. The representatives visited to me for
Consultation. After searching the information related to thousands of species
in my medicinal plant database I identified tens of Allergy causing species
planted in densely populated areas of Mumbai. Within a week I sent the complete
list to them. Visiting to Mumbai on March 29 for further discussion in this
regard.
Earlier I identified Allergy causing species planted
in New Delhi, Pune and Vidarbha. I was informed that in Nagpur awareness
campaign is in progress to stop new plantation of Allergy causing species.
Efforts are required to remove the existing species also and to replace it with
harmless species.
