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...

What Gases we breathe in and out?

 What Gases we breathe in and out? The process of breathing is essential because it gives our bodies the oxygen they need to produce energy and eliminate waste gases like carbon dioxide. Every breath we take brings in a mixture of gases that make up the air around us. But as we exhale, the air's composition changes. Knowing the gases that are inhaled and emitted during breathing enables us to better understand how our respiratory system functions and how our bodies preserve the equilibrium required for life. Analysis of Inhaled and Exhaled Air Composition   The Gases We Inhale The air we breathe in comes from the atmosphere, which is made up of a variety of gases. Since nitrogen makes up over 78% of the air, it is the most common gas we breathe. Despite not being directly used by our bodies, nitrogen is crucial for preserving the equilibrium and pressure of gases in the lungs. Oxygen, which makes up around 21% of the air we breathe, is the second most vital gas. Because...

निर्माण क्षेत्र और वायु प्रदूषण: भारत से साक्ष्य

  निर्माण क्षेत्र और वायु प्रदूषण: भारत से साक्ष्य निर्माण क्षेत्र भारत में बढ़ती वायु गुणवत्ता संकट का एक महत्वपूर्ण लेकिन अक्सर अनदेखा योगदानकर्ता के रूप में उभरा है। निर्माण गतिविधियों और वायु प्रदूषण के बीच के संबंध की जांच करते हुए, यह लेख दिखाता है कि निर्माण स्थलों पर उपयोग किए जाने वाले भारी ड्यूटी डीज़ल उपकरण NO₂ उत्सर्जन का कारण बनते हैं। यह राष्ट्रीय नीतियों में NO₂ कमी लक्ष्य को शामिल करने की आवश्यकता को उजागर करता है, जो वर्तमान में मुख्य रूप से कणीय पदार्थों पर केंद्रित हैं।भारत में, जो तेजी से औद्योगिकीकरण और शहरीकरण का अनुभव कर रहा है, वायु प्रदूषण के स्रोत विविध और जटिल हैं। इनमें, निर्माण क्षेत्र बढ़ती वायु गुणवत्ता संकट का एक महत्वपूर्ण लेकिन अक्सर अनदेखा योगदानकर्ता के रूप में उभरा है। गोल्डन क्वाड्रिलेटरल (GQ) हाइवे नेटवर्क और प्रधानमंत्री ग्राम सड़क योजना (PMGSY) जैसे बड़े बुनियादी ढांचा परियोजनाओं ने 2000 और 2012 के बीच निर्माण गतिविधियों में महत्वपूर्ण वृद्धि को प्रोत्साहित किया, जिससे निर्माण रोजगार में उल्लेखनीय वृद्धि हुई (महाजन और नगराज 2017)।हाल की जांच...
