  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 ...

 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...
