}}Template:Main other Chembur (pronunciation: [t͡ʃembuːɾ]) is an upmarket large suburb in central Mumbai, India. It belongs on the harbour line of suburban railways and offers the best connectivity with Mumbai Monorail, Santacruz- Chembur Link Road, Airport, Jeejamata Bhosle Marg (from Chembur-Mankhurd), Eastern Freeway, Eastern Express Highway, BKC connector, and Mumbai Satara highway (Sion-Panvel).
HistoryEdit
Before reclamation, Chembur lay on the north-western corner of Trombay Island. It is suggested that Chembur is the same place referred to as Saimur by the Arab writers(915–1137), Sibor in Cosmas Indicopleustes(535), Chemula in the Kanheri cave inscriptions(300–500), Symulla by the author of the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea(247), Symulla or Timulla by Ptolemy(150), and perhaps even Perimula by Pliny (A.D. 77).<ref name="maharashtra.gov.in">[1] Template:Webarchive</ref> This is, however, disputed. Chembur is also said to be a reference to Chevul at the mouth of the Kundalika River on mainland Maharashtra. Later, the area occupied was said to have occupied a branch of an animal home.<ref name="maharashtra.gov.in"/>
The Bombay Presidency Golf Club was established in 1827, and was later re-built to meet international standards.<ref>Times of India - Chembur Ghatkopar Plus - {{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }} - Retrieved on 3 December 2010</ref> No major activity occurred until the Kurla-Chembur single railway line was built in 1906 for garbage trains.

Environmental problemsEdit
Chembur had pollution problems in the past and was ranked 46th in a list of the most polluted industrial clusters in India.<ref>Gyan Varma (25 December 2009) "43 Industrial Clusters imperiled in India" Template:Webarchive, Daily News and Analysis. Accessed on 25 January 2011</ref> Studies of Chembur have also found high levels of copper, chromium, calcium, arsenic and mercury in groundwater.<ref name="cgwb" /> Effluents from oil refineries, fertilizer plants and reactors in Chembur are also said to have polluted seawater in Thane Creek and affected marine life.<ref name="cgwb" />
The main problem was the uncontrolled release of ammonia and nitrous oxides from the Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilisers (RCF) complex. Although ammonia is easy to scrub, the problem seems to be due to improper operation of pollution control equipment and/or operation of the urea/ammonia complex way beyond the design capacity without augmentation of pollution control equipment.
The Deonar dumping ground in Deonar had caused health issues for the residents of Chembur.<ref name=dna1>Template:Cite news</ref> In 2008, around 40 residents of Chembur went on a hunger strike to protest against the frequent fires and smoke.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Again in 2012, the residents complained to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation on the smoke coming out of the dumping ground, which has been affecting asthma patients.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
