Inequitable Access To Water Is A Pressing Issue In Bengaluru, With Marginalized Communities Often Facing Acute Water Shortages.
While the issue of microplastics has gained attention in recent years, this study delves into the largely uncharted territory of nanoplastics, raising concerns about the potential impact on human health and the environment.
A recent report from the Indian Institute of Toxicology Research (IITR) has shown that air pollution during the 2022-2023 period was primarily caused by automobiles. The report mentioned that registered vehicles had increased by 6.3% since 2022.
A new study by scientist Soumya Swaminathan reveals that a woman generates around 14.1 kg of non-biodegradable waste in a lifetime if she uses commercially manufactured disposable sanitary pads. However, if she uses menstrual cups, she will yield.06 kg of non-biodegradable waste.
The new Global Greenhouse Gas Watch will fill critical information gaps, providing an integrated, operational framework under all space-based and surface-based observing systems under one roof, along with modelling and data assimilation capabilities.
The report comes as independent research has found breaking down plastics for recycling scatters microplastic pollution into the environment.
Comprised of scientists from the US, France, and Saudi Arabia, the team looked at Earth’s biggest 1,972 lakes and reservoirs, using observations from satellites from 1992-2020.
The region witnessed temperatures above 40 degrees last month, with Bangladesh at its hottest in 50 years, Thailand registering a record 45 degrees, and Laos exceeding 42 degrees.
The changes would bring billions of dollars worth of benefits between now and 2040, as stated by the report. The same would be achieved by reducing the damage caused by plastics to health, the environment, and the climate.
