Pollution Control

  पेड़ों को जानबूझकर, प्राकृतिक या आकस्मिक तरीकों से साफ करना, नष्ट करना या अन्यथा हटाना, जिससे भूमि का उपयोग कृषि, लॉगिंग या शहरीकरण जैसे अन्य उद्देश्यों के लिए किया जाता है ।   deforestation , the clearing or thinning of  forests  by humans. Deforestation represents one of the largest issues in global  land use . Estimates of deforestation traditionally are based on the area of forest cleared for human use, including removal of the trees for wood products and for croplands and  grazing  lands.  History (इतिहास)  वनों को अन्य उद्देश्यों के लिए उपयोग की जाने वाली भूमि में परिवर्तित करने का एक लंबा इतिहास रहा है। पृथ्वी की कृषि भूमि, जो लगभग 49 मिलियन वर्ग किमी (18.9 मिलियन वर्ग मील) को कवर करती है, ज़्यादातर वनों की कटाई वाली भूमि है। अधिकांश वर्तमान कृषि भूमि में पर्याप्त वर्षा होती है और वे इतनी गर्म होती हैं कि कभी किसी न किसी तरह के वनों का समर्थन कर सकती थीं। केवल लगभग 1 मिलियन वर्ग किमी (390,000 वर्ग मील) कृषि भूमि ऐसे क्षेत्रों में है ...

Plants Absorb 31% More Carbon Than Previously Thought, Prompting Updates to Climate Modeling A recent study has revealed that plants worldwide are absorbing significantly more carbon dioxide (CO2) than scientists had estimated before. The research shows that terrestrial plants absorb about 31% more CO2 than earlier calculations suggested. These findings are expected to enhance Earth system models used to predict climate changes and emphasize the crucial role of natural carbon sequestration in reducing greenhouse gas levels. Plant CO2 uptake predictions Terrestrial Gross Primary Production, or GPP, is the quantity of carbon dioxide that plants extract from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. This process, which is commonly estimated in petagrams of carbon per year (one pentagram is equivalent to one billion metric tons), is the biggest transfer of carbon between the atmosphere and the land.  GPP was previously believed by scientists to be about 120 pentagram annually, a figure...

 Microplastics are endangering food production by interfering with photosynthesis. This information is based on two studies that demonstrate how these particles pollute soil through compost and hinder plant growth. Depending on the type of plant and the location, microplastics can lower photosynthetic rates by up to 18%, according to one study that examined data from 157 previous trials. This includes a significant decline in freshwater algae's chlorophyll a level. According to the researchers' estimates, this may result in a yearly loss of 24 million metric tons of seafood and 361 million metric tons of crops worldwide. These losses could have an impact on ecosystems that depend on photosynthesis for energy flow and exacerbate food shortages. According to the report, there is a significant risk if plastic pollution is not stopped. Compost is another surprising source of microplastic contamination, according to second research. Microplastic particles ranged from 1,500 ...

 The results of the "ecological footprint assessment" I recently completed for my Conservation Biology class disturbed me even though I wasn't shocked by them. Particularly after learning that the majority of the world is far surpassing their biological potential... In my opinion, the positive things I can accomplish pale in comparison to billionaires flying around in private aircraft to play golf. Refillable water bottles, reusable cups and bags, voting, petitioning, writing representatives, supporting small and green businesses when possible, and making generally green decisions are just a few of the ways that our generation is paying the price for mistakes made before our time and before we had any say.    On a national level, I believe our voices and changes are so tiny. I reside in a rental property; I'm not sure about most of you. In the winter, my thermostat is set to 60 degrees, and in the summer, to 80 degrees. I can eat a more vegetarian diet, ride my b...

  You've undoubtedly heard "global warming" and "climate change" used interchangeably. However, were you aware that they are not interchangeable? Despite their close relationship, these two ideas represent various facets of the changing environmental landscape of our globe. Knowing the difference is essential to understanding the broader picture of Earth's situation. Global warming can be seen in action if you go outside and notice that the sun's heat gets stronger every year. Imagine the effects of such warming temperatures on ecosystems, weather patterns, and glaciers as they spread over the world. Herein lies the role of climate change. By examining their differences, you'll learn how the two are related and why resolving them is so important for our future.   What is Global  Warming The term "global warming" describes the slow rise in the average surface temperature of the Earth, mostly brought on by the greenhouse effect brought on ...

  ​Recent developments in Telangana have spotlighted concerns over deforestation, particularly in the Kancha Gachibowli area near the University of Hyderabad. The state government's initiative to clear 400 acres for IT park development faced significant opposition from environmentalists, students, and faculty.​ On April 3, 2025, the Supreme Court intervened, halting all tree-felling and excavation activities in the region. The bench expressed alarm over the extensive deforestation, questioning the urgency behind the state's actions and highlighting the potential environmental impact. The court also held the Telangana Chief Secretary personally accountable for the environmental damage. Prior to this, the Telangana High Court had issued an interim order on April 2, 2025, pausing the land-clearing activities. Petitions argued that the area is a dense forest and should be preserved as a protected ecological habitat, emphasizing its importance as a green lung for the Financial Dist...

 दिल्ली में वायु प्रदूषण एक गंभीर समस्या है, जो विभिन्न कारणों से उत्पन्न होती है और इसके समाधान के लिए समग्र दृष्टिकोण की आवश्यकता है। दिल्ली में वायु प्रदूषण की समस्या को कम करने के लिए सरकार ने कई महत्वपूर्ण कदम उठाए हैं। यहाँ कुछ ताज़ा अपडेट्स दिए गए हैं: प्रमुख  सीएजी रिपोर्ट : हाल ही में सीएजी रिपोर्ट ने दिल्ली में वायु प्रदूषण के नियंत्रण में कई खामियों का खुलासा किया है, जिसमें सार्वजनिक परिवहन की कमी और वायु गुणवत्ता निगरानी में लापरवाही शामिल है . व्यापक अभियान : मुख्यमंत्री रेखा गुप्ता ने दिल्ली में वायु प्रदूषण नियंत्रण के लिए एक व्यापक अभियान शुरू करने की घोषणा की है, जिसमें रिंग रोड को 'धूल मुक्त' बनाना और सड़कों के किनारे पौधे लगाना शामिल है . इलेक्ट्रिक वाहनों को बढ़ावा : दिल्ली सरकार इलेक्ट्रिक वाहनों को बढ़ावा देने के लिए 2026 तक 48,000 चार्जिंग पॉइंट स्थापित करेगी। इसके अलावा, छह नए वायु गुणवत्ता निगरानी केंद्र भी स्थापित किए जाएंगे 3 . वायु गुणवत्ता में सुधार : 2025 की पहली तिमाही में दिल्ली की वायु गुणवत्ता पिछले पांच वर्षों में सबसे अच्छी रही है, जिसमें...
