Impact on Climate and Land Use Changes Around Ganga River

In India, Ganga is the largest river and also famous spiritual river, in meantime pollution issue in Ganga river is considered to be one of the most discussed topics on river water quality in the past decades . The river gets s everely polluted with untreated industrial and human wastes, and the river crossed around 11 states in India and provides water for about 40% of India's population, approximately 500 million people, we couldn’t find more than any other river in the world [ 1, 2 ]. Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has mentioned that 764 grossly polluting industries were discharging into the Ganga river, 487 industries are from the Kanpur region. Therefore, the Kanpur region was treated as the main polluted spot and immediate action should be taken for further recovery of water quality. The Kanpur region is one of the most important industrialized place in India. It is the most polluted stretch of the Ganga River, because of its excessive pollutant discharge from the i...

Emerging Attention to Ozone Layer Protection

  “Ozone Layer Protection” research is a mandatory one to save our environment and ecosystem.  A vision of the Montreal protocol (1998) was first established and agreed, to examine various direct and indirect impacts on the ozone layer. The main three assessment panels are:  The  Technology and Economic Assessment Panel (TEAP). The Scientific Assessment Panel (SAP). The Environmental Effects Assessment Panel (EEAP) Earlier assessment on our global environment is carried out and updated various years as per the recommendation of panel members under Decision XI/17 (11 th meeting of the parties of the Montreal Protocol, 1999), which concern about the findings of the s cientific, environmental effects, and technology and economic effects. After the implementation of the Montreal Protocol and its subsequent amendments ( World Meteorological Organization 2007), ozone depleting substances (ODS) in the stratosphere has started to decreasing around in the late 1990s...

Electric Vehicle: Public Health and Climate Benefits

A research team led by Daniel Peters at Northwestern University has investigated that if we introducing electrifying vehicles in the streets of the United States could annually prevent hundreds-to-thousands of premature accidental deaths.This work highlights the potential of a synergistic solution to reduce CO 2 emissions by hundreds to millions of tons annually. The estimate of economic damages induced by introducing electrifying vehicles (EV) adoption is substantial. With current infrastructure, about 25% of electrifying vehicles adoption in the US can save approximately $16.8 billion annually, has been told in the study entitled"Public Health and Climate Benefits and Trade offs of U.S. Vehicle Electrification," in GeoHealth on 13 th August 2020 [1] .  Vehicle electrification in the United States could prevent hundreds to thousands of premature deaths annually while reducing carbon emissions by hundreds of millions of tons. This highlights the potential of co-beneficial...
