Chandigarh Pollution Testing Laboratory

Our lab is situated over in Sector 15 on 9th Main, right in the 2nd Stage of Banashanka. Chandigarh Pollution Testing Laboratory has a pretty simple setup. We have the testing machines lined up against the back wall and some desks for the logs. It stays fairly quiet in here compared to the main road outside. We spend most of our hours looking at gauges and writing down numbers on clipboards. The floor is that old tile that is a bit chipped in the corners. We have got a small area where people can wait, but it is just a few plastic chairs. Banashankari is a nice area, though parking can be a real headache some mornings. We usually start early before the traffic gets too heavy. There is a big tree outside that gives us some shade in the afternoon. Sometimes the equipment acts up and we have to spend an hour just recalibrating everything. We don't do much in the way of fancy talk. It is just testing and recording what we see. Most of the people who work here live nearby, so we walk or take the bus. We have seen the neighborhood change a lot over the years. New shops come and go, but we are still here doing the same tasks. It is just regular work for us. We make sure the readings are done and the paperwork is filed away properly before we head home.
