Researchers at Technological University Dublin have made a significant discovery in the field of nanotechnology, developing a novel approach to fabricate high-quality surface relief diffraction gratings entirely composed of metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles. This innovation enables the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at low concentrations, with a detection limit
Pollution control
Researchers from the East China University of Science and Technology have successfully developed an intelligent approach to identify and classify the sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in industrial agglomeration areas. The study utilized artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to accurately trace the sources of pollutants, achieving an accuracy
Pollution control
The Central Pollution Control Board's (CPCB) daily bulletin revealed that the air quality index (AQI) in Chandigarh on Sunday was moderate at 118, a day before Diwali. However, experts anticipate that the AQI may deteriorate on Diwali night due to residents bursting crackers. Fortunately, the day temperatures are
Air quality
Delhi's air quality has shown a sharp deterioration, crossing into the "very poor" category, prompting the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to invoke Stage II of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) across Delhi-NCR. The decision follows an emergency review by the Sub-Committee on GRAP,
Pollution control
The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has issued a notice requiring all industrial units in the capital involved in hazardous waste generation, recycling, utilisation, co-processing, pre-processing, or disposal to register on the Central Pollution Control Board's (CPCB) National Hazardous Waste Tracking System (NHWTS). The NHWTS aims to monitor
Pollution control
Delhi has taken a significant step to tackle its hazardous waste management crisis by mandating registration for all industrial units generating, recycling, utilizing, or disposing of hazardous waste. The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has directed all these units to register on the National Hazardous Waste Tracking System (NHWTS), a

Research from the University of Lisbon has been published, exploring the impact of a feeding strategy on greenhouse gas emissions in beef cattle production. The study's objective was to assess the sustainability of using locally produced forage and agro-industrial by-products in the diet of finishing beef cattle. The
Pollution control
A recent study published in the Journal of Discover Global Society has found a significant positive correlation between the presence of women on corporate boards and carbon emission disclosure practices. The research, conducted by Afifah Ma'wa and Doddy Setiawan at Universitas Sebelas Maret, analyzed data from 765 observations
Pollution control
As part of a massive environmental monitoring exercise, the Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) has started collecting soil and water samples across all districts to assess the chemical contamination caused by firecrackers. The initiative, launched in response to the Supreme Court's directions, aims to understand the long-term
Pollution control
Scientists at the University of Science and Technology China have developed a cost-effective, real-time monitoring method to track carbon emissions from fossil fuel power plants using high-frequency geostationary satellite data and deep learning techniques. This breakthrough is expected to play a crucial role in the global transition to a low-carbon
Diwali
Air quality in several cities in Uttar Pradesh, including Ghaziabad, Noida, Hapur, and Baghpat, has sharply deteriorated, with pollution levels surpassing those in Delhi, according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) bulletin. The data shows that at least four cities have recorded higher pollution levels, with Ghaziabad and Noida
