Improving Indoor Air Quality By Going Green

air-pollution
Indoor Air Quality can be improved by using plants that helps in reducing the indoor air pollution by removing the toxins present in the indoor. Many researches have been made and proved that plants play a vital role in reducing the indoor pollutants. NASA began its research for using plants as a solution to indoor air pollution. The research led to the discovery of some plants which were good at removing the toxic and harmful particulates present in the indoor environment. NASA comprised a list of plants that are more efficient in eliminating the indoor pollutants and these plants would withstand and survive any temperature thus making it possible for people around the world to use.

Europe takes action against UK for breaching air pollution limits

air-pollution
UK has failed multiple times in applying the environmental law. So action against Britain has been taken for exceeding the air pollution limits. Since 2010, Britain has been continuously exceeding the maximum limit of NO2 that can be emitted. The most shocking factor is that UK has already exceeded its annual pollution emission limit for this entire year just in 5 days.

Indoor Air Pollution

air-pollution
We are well aware of dust, smoke and the harmful hazards that are caused by pollution. It is very necessary to learn how to control air pollution because if we do not do then it is possible that air around us keeps on getting polluted. Outdoor pollution is one of the most important thing we are concerned about. But indoor air pollution is much more hazardous & cause dangerous health effects when compared to outdoor air pollution. The impacts of indoor air pollution on human health is much higher when compared to the impacts caused by outdoor air pollution. Sources say that nearly 3.5 million premature deaths occur every year due to indoor air pollution.

Environmental Police Force has been established in Beijing to take actions on people who are responsible for causing any sorts of pollution such as illegal burning of garbage and waste. These special force will track down these illegal activities that are carried out against environment. “These acts of non-compliance with regulations are actually the result of lax supervision and weak law enforcement”, said the Mayor Cai Qi.




Dust Collection System - Working & Maintenance

air-pollution
Dust collector is a device that is used to collect dust via an inlet, filter the dust particles through filter arrangements and then the filtered air is let into the atmosphere through ventilations. Dust Control is must for any kind of industrial processing to safeguard working labors and machineries from hazardous dust. Dust collection system are most widely used to provide a clean work environment so as to protect the employee from harmful and hazardous fumes.

"This is the first human study to report an influence of air pollution on pulmonary vascular function," said lead author Dr Jean-Francois Argacha, a cardiologist at the University Hospital (UZ) Brussels, Belgium. "This is a major public health issue for people living in polluted urban areas where exercise could damage the lungs and potentially lead to decompensated heart failure."





Pollution emitted near equator has biggest impact on global ozone

air-pollution
China's emissions increased more than India's and Southeast Asia's from 1980 to 2010.But Southeast Asia and India, despite their lower growth in emissions during this period, appear to have contributed more to the total global ozone increase due to their proximity to the equator. The reason is that ozone, a greenhouse gas and toxic air pollutant, is not emitted but forms when ultraviolet light hits nitrogen oxides (basically combustion exhaust from cars and other sources). When these pollutants interact with more intense sunlight and higher temperatures, the interplay speeds up the chemical reactions that form ozone.

Free real-time Air Pollution information - for more than 60 countries in the WorldAir pollution is the introduction of particulates, biological molecules, or other harmful materials into Earth's atmosphere, causing disease, death to humans, damage. Air pollution is the fifth leading cause of death in India after high blood pressure, indoor air pollution, tobacco smoking and poor nutrition, with about 620,000 premature deaths occurring from air pollution-related diseases. Like China, India faces an unprecedented public health crisis due to air pollution, the Centre for Science and Environment's (CSE) analysis of government data and the Global Burden of Disease report's data on India.

Indians losing life expectancy due to air pollution from the transport Sector

asthma-by-air-pollution
In Delhi the transport sector leads the major part in air pollution. The people may be overestimating the "pollution load from traffic" and that there may be a huge difference in the actual number of vehicles on the road as compared to those registered officially. The survey says that the transport sector is responsible for only 17% of PM2.5 emissions as compared to 15% from the brick kilns and as much as 12% from LPG or domestic sectors. The transport sector estimates more than 30% of PM2.5 these contributes to the worst health impacts from vehicle in Delhi.



Air Pollution triggers respiratory diseases - India

asthma-by-air-pollution
Air pollution affects everyone because we all breathe the same air. Its adverse impact on health is definitely causes for concern. The World Health Organization 2014 report on air pollution lists Kolkata among polluted cities. Delhi tops the chart globally. The Natural ambient air pollution was responsible for 630,000 premature deaths a year, or more than one death per minutes and these air pollution is on average shaving three years of life expectancy for people in India. If big cities fail to address the concern , it would not only have to bear the incremental cost of an ailing population, harmful diseases. These issues of air pollution now can also mitigate climate change for future generation.




40% of Delhi schoolkids fail lung capacity test

lung-cancer-by-air-pollution
More than a third of schoolchildren in four big cities of India suffer from reduced lung capacity, with Delhi shows the worst results, this result could be pointing to how air pollution is impacting the health of kids in urban India. In the survey, 2,373 kids in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Kolkata underwent a lung health screening test (LHST). Of the 735 students who took the test in Delhi, 21% were found to have 'poor' lung capacity while another 19% had 'bad' capacity. According to the W.H.O, four out of every 10 children screened in the capital failed in the test and Delhi has the worst air quality among 1,600 cities around the world...



India's pollution problem is worse than China's

air-pollution-in-india
In India air quality now appears to be worse due to dust, smoke, fumes and other industrial pollutants that excess pollution that leads to reduce the life expectancy of 660 million Indians by 3.2 years, on average. The World Health Organization recently published data on pollution around the world, focusing on airborne particles smaller than 2.5 micrometers (known as PM2.5). These particles come from coal plants and vehicles, and, at high levels, have been linked to serious respiratory problems. The Power to change this in a cost effective way that allow hundreds of millions of its people to live longer, healthier, and more productive lives by controlling air pollution from various Industries and vehicles. Every 100 micrograms per cubic meter of "total suspended particulates" in the air was associated with a drop in life expectancy of about three years.
