New Delhi, Nov 4 (PTI) A team of scientists from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) is monitoring air, water and soil in the areas affected by the fire that broke out in eleven IOC tanks in Jaipur in Rajasthan.

"Though the Rajasthan Pollution Control Board (RPCB) is already carrying out a study of the air quality in five locations in the city, our team will pick the specialised particulate matters and gaseous particles to be analysed in our laboratories here," a senior CPCB official said.

The team has also been asked to monitor organic particles besides collect filters sampled by the state pollution Board for further study, he said.

"Once we get the samples, we will study them here to assess the impact of such particles in the environment there," the official added.
