भारत की नदियाँ: उद्योग और कृषि द्वारा प्रदूषित

  भारत की नदियाँ: उद्योग और कृषि द्वारा प्रदूषित भारत कई कारकों के संयोजन के कारण गंभीर नदी प्रदूषण का सामना कर रहा है, जो इसके जल स्रोतों के स्वास्थ्य और नागरिकों की भलाई के लिए खतरा उत्पन्न कर रहा है। इस समस्या में योगदान देने वाले मुख्य कारकों में औद्योगिक अपशिष्ट का निर्वहन शामिल है, जिसमें खतरनाक अपशिष्ट नदियों में समाप्त हो जाता है, अव्यवस्थित सीवेज, कीटनाशक और उर्वरकों के साथ कृषि जल-अपवाह, अपशिष्ट का अनुचित निपटान और मूर्ति विसर्जन जैसी धार्मिक प्रथाएं शामिल हैं। ये कारक जल प्रदूषण का कारण बनते हैं, जिससे जलीय पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र और मानव स्वास्थ्य प्रभावित होते हैं। जलवायु परिवर्तन, जनसंख्या वृद्धि, शहरीकरण और जागरूकता और शिक्षा की कमी जैसे बुनियादी कारक इस गंभीर स्थिति का कारण बने हैं।     विशेषताएँ   मान   प्रदूषण के मुख्य औद्योगिक अपशिष्ट का निपटान, अप्राकृतिक/असाफ सिवरेज, कीटनाशक और उर्वरक के साथ कृषि अपवाह, असंगत कचरा निपटान, और धार्मिक प्रथाएँ जैसे मूर्तियों और पूजन सामग्री का नदियों में विसर्जनप्रदूषित नदियों की संख्या Number of polluted rivers 3...

Air Pollution is increasing rapidly -What is the reason and how to control it ?

  The Air quality rate of every country is growing very fast. We need oxygen to breathe; without oxygen, we cannot exist anymore.  The WHO, the World Health Organization, is also conscious of this matter and takes the same meaningful action to tackle this impurity.  Reasons Why It's Growing Fast 1. Industrial Emissions Industries play an important role in air pollution. Factories, power plants, and refineries release many harmful substances into the atmosphere, including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate matter. These emissions are by-products of manufacturing processes, fossil fuel burning, and chemical production. The concentration of pollutants around industrial areas can be extremely high, making them major contributors to poor air quality, especially in urban areas. 2. Increase in Vehicle Usage The global rise in urbanization has led to an increase in the number of vehicles on the roads. Cars, trucks, and buses emit carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen ...

DIAT Pune Faces Notice Over Khadakwasla Dam Pollution

 The Defence Institute of Advanced Technology (DIAT), located in Pune, has received a notice from the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) for allegedly releasing untreated sewage into a nallah that empties into the Khadakwasla Dam. This is a worrying trend. As pollution levels rise, the dam—a crucial source of water for Pune—has come under examination, alarming local authorities and environmentalists. The Allegations and Findings The problem was discovered when the irrigation department complained about the dam's water contamination in January 2025. After that, on February 3, 2025, MPCB representatives inspected the area and took water samples from the nallah close to DIAT. The samples' blackish hue, septic condition, and offensive odor were determined to be unmistakable signs of untreated sewage discharge. According to additional research, DIAT produces about 606 cubic meters of sewage each day, but it lacks a working sewage treatment plant (STP) to handle this wa...

Conference of the WHO: More than 50 nations promise to cut the health effects of air pollution by 50% by 2040

 Conference of the WHO: More than 50 nations promise to cut the health effects of air pollution by 50% by 2040  Over 50 nations, cities, and organizations made significant pledges to address air pollution and protect public health during the last session of the World Health Organization's worldwide conference.   In the closing session of the second World Health Organization (WHO) conference on  air pollution  and health, India committed to reducing the health impacts of air pollution by 2040, aligning its measures with the National Clean Air Programme. The Indian government is "committed to supporting the health sector" and would "promote cleaner cooking energy, particularly for vulnerable populations," according to Aakash Shrivastava, who spoke at the conference held in the Colombian city of Cartagena. To lessen the negative health effects of  air pollution  by 2040, the Indian Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is dedicated to assisting the health...

अदृश्य शत्रु: वायु प्रदूषण को समझना और उसका मुकाबला करना

 अदृश्य शत्रु: वायु प्रदूषण को समझना और उसका मुकाबला करना  प्रदूषण अब सिर्फ एक छोटी समस्या नहीं रह गया है; यह हमारे लिए एक बड़ा खतरा बन चुका है। हर प्रकार का प्रदूषण खतरनाक है, लेकिन वायु प्रदूषण तो बहुत ही चालाक है—यह आंखों से नहीं दिखता, लेकिन इसका असर बहुत बुरा होता है। सोचिए, जब हम सांस लेते हैं, तो गाड़ियों, फैक्ट्रियों और जलते ईंधन से निकलने वाली जहरीली गैसें और कण हमारे फेफड़ों में जा रहे हैं। इससे फेफड़े खराब हो जाते हैं, दिल की बीमारियाँ होती हैं, और जलवायु भी बिगड़ जाती है... सब कुछ गड़बड़ हो जाता है। यह सिर्फ "प्रकृति प्रेमी" नहीं है; यह सिर्फ हमारी पीढ़ियों और आने वाली पीढ़ियों के लिए है; इससे निपटने के लिए हमें सिर्फ धुएं और जहरीले कचरे को कम करना पड़ेगा, साथ ही पेड़ों को अधिक से अधिक दोस्त बनाना पड़ेगा. अन्यथा सांस लेना भी मुश्किल हो जाएगा।   🌍 परिचय: अदृश्य खतरे में साँस लेना  वायु, जिसके बिना कोई भी साँस नहीं ले सकता, इतनी गंदी हो गई है कि पूछो मत. हम हर दिन 11,00द्वितीयक प्रदूषक (जैसे ओज़ोन या स्मॉग) रासायनिक प्रतिक्रियाओं से वायुमंडल में बनते हैं, ...

Pollution: The Invisible Killer We Created

  💨  Pollution: The Invisible Killer We Created Our world is struggling to breathe. The air is hazy, the rivers are murky, and the air is heavy. It's no longer a distant crisis — it's here and it's shaping our lives as we speak. Pollution is our silent killer, something we created with our own hands — and many of us aren't aware of the consequences of pollution until it's too late. This is not about dirty air or plastic waste. The conversation goes deeper than that. It's about our health, it's about the future of our communities, and it is about the future of our planet. It's time we examine this silent crisis — what the data shows us, what perceptions tell us, and what we can do to reverse this trend. 💨  Pollution Pollution describes the addition of damaging materials or forms of energy to the surrounding environment that creates harmful effects on organisms and nature. These materials, which can include chemicals, plastics, smoke, or noise, interfere...

Global Effects of Air Pollution

  Air pollution is a severe environmental issue that affects human health, ecosystems, economies, and the planet’s climate. It results from releasing harmful substances such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Below is a comprehensive look at the global effects of air pollution. 1. Human Health Effects  a. Respiratory  Diseases    Air pollution can cause a wide range of respiratory problems, especially in individuals with preexisting conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or bronchitis. Some major respiratory issues linked to air pollution include :    Asthma Attacks – Triggered by pollutants like PM2.5, NO₂, and ozone. COPD – Long-term exposure worsens lung function. Bronchitis – Inflammation of airways due to smoke and SO₂. Lung Cancer – Caused by carcinogens like benzene and PAHs. Respiratory Infections – Higher risk of...
