1. Q18 The environment ministry on April 12 banned the use of party poppers that use low intensity chemical explosives and plastics streamers. "The ban is a precautionary measure. We know that these explosives can prove dangerous to people especially children," Manoj Kumar Gangeya, a senior official at the ministry, said. "They are harmful for the environment and human health," he added. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has been charged with implementing the directive according to which, only poppers that use compressed air as the charge material and soft paper as streamers will be allowed. India is hosting World Environment Day this year with a focus on plastic pollution. The ubiquitous use of plastic in everything from packaging to storage to furniture is part of the problem. Different measures are being taken to curb its use. In February, the environment minister declared that the ministry headquarters in Delhi would be a plastic-free zone. Recently, Maharashtra became the 18th state to ban the use of plastic bags. The Delhi government directed schools to restrict students from using plastic covers for their books. (The Hindustan Times, April 26, 2018) Questions: 1. What has been banned on April 12 and why? 2. What has the CPCB been charged with implementing? 3. What is 'part of the problem' with regard to plastic?
